- Reviewed by Former Student on June 10, 2008
- Rating:
(3 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - The teachers are great but need to be more strict, one could go outside the classroom and return in 10-20 min and they wont mind. (without their permission). But the students show a lot of knowledge and the school is improving.
- Reviewed by Student on June 11, 2007
- Rating:
(4 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - This school is really involved in the Fine Arts. But we do have some problems from most students. The students also curse but the grades are very high. Most of the students parents have been taught as former students at Pulaski. The kids get along well with student's and teachers.
