School Reviews

2   9/8/2009
This school has declined quite a bit in quality over the past few years. It seems to need a stronger hand leading it. Programs are good, but exceptional kids on either end tend to be swept up in bureaucracy and not well nurtured academically. Gifted teacher is excellent.
