I go there and its amazing between the uniforms it keeps us kids focused. I have been going there for 2 years now and I am going to be sad when its time to leave but coming from a school that wasn't very high ranked in Jefferson county I have made a lot of progress in my math and reading. reading wasn't fun for me until this year because, we are reading all kinds of books in both social studies and la. we also did the project in both math and la which helped me understand the math easier and it was fun...
