- Reviewed by Parent/Guardian on June 16, 2009
- Rating:
(2 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - My experience with two students in the 8th and 6th grades was less than desireable. The teachers are difficult to communicate with and when you try to show that you care about your childs education they just blow you off. Terrible experience.
