What people are saying

by a student
Friday, May 6, 2011

I went to this school. To keep it short and sweet, the school victimizes people, and places an extreme emphasis the Aims test instead of actual teaching. Rather than teaching classes that help students understand the "curriculum", they "Teach to Test"...Placing the Aims above all else, most homework the students encounter are rigidly designed on what to expect for the Aims test. I never did graduate, but now that i'm attending Arizona State University, I can only ponder what other classmates I have that share my feeling of being unprepared by this school.
