We didn't fit in with the school culture. It could have been COVID.
We expected the Museum would be integrated into all areas of instruction. Not do much. Science was the only area that hit the mark,
Overall, it felt a bit superficial, cliquish without as much academic drive as its potential.
Didn’t really foster community with all students. PTA - Non existent except for the membership dues. Close Quote

Horrific leadership at this school. No wonder the grade has dropped to a C Close Quote

The teachers are caring but the administration doesn't communicate well. There is high turnover of teachers, even within a school year. Close Quote
