What people are saying

by a citizen
Friday, January 25, 2013

Tatanka Academy is not providing the services it says it is. The experience and knowledge in leadership at the school is lacking. While teachers there are qualified and passionate about their work, they struggle to obtain the resources and support required from school leadership to achieve student success. Close Quote
