(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - Roosevelt School has saved my life. Most teachers are understanding and really try to give you what you need to get a diploma. If I didn't go to Roosevelt School, I would have dropped out which could have led to a life of homelessness or crime. I am learning everything I need to succeed in school and in life.
