4-5 stars for history, english and music programs. They have some truely award winning teachers in these areas.

1 star for math and science. Main goal for these classes is to achieve maximum performance at the minimum level of competence to game their test scores and federal funding. They are clueless about why foreign scientists and technologists are coming to the US from europe, asia and south asia to eat our lunch. Close Quote
