(3 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - great school
- Reviewed by Parent/Guardian on October 21, 2008
- Rating:
(2 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - The facility is nice, but some of the teachers need to really concentrate on ensuring students establish good study habits. Many teachers did not take the homework piece seriously. By not ensuring students being completely engaged, it is more difficult for them to do well in high school. Not all of them are lax -- one of my son's teachers (for literature) was very, very well tuned in to the students and worked hard to ignite their desire to learn. We need more like her!!
