  • Reviewed by Parent/Guardian on October 10, 2008
  • Rating: 5 (5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate
  • Broad range of course offerings with extremely skilled, professional teachers. I have put 3 kids through the Lower Merion School Disrict and in 34 child-years ( 2 to go) have run across only 2 teachers who didn't shine-quite a track record!!
