Everyone thinks this is a good school because of the wealth. I do like a lot of the teachers. There is very little creativity with anything they do. It's all worksheets. They are only aloud to have two parties a year, but they can watch movies ALL the time. The principal has all the teachers scared and I know at least three who have applied for a job in my school system. They tell me others are looking in counties north of us. Close Quote
