(4 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - This school is great, I been a student for 8 years in Prussing and I learned a lot. The teachers are very patient and caring of their students. The school lunches are also good.

(1 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - This school sucks! We have basically no freedom rights and no one ever listens to us. The coach is the only good thing about this school. Some of the teachers are ok, though. Otherwise, doesn't teach anything to us students.
