What people are saying

by a parent
Saturday, July 28, 2012

Teaching is poor,never do they have home work of any quality.Classroom work is lacking. the last four to six weeks of the school year their year of learning is completed,they do nothing in educating students. Students do not have opportunity to play or participate in school sports because their are few sports available. Most teachers seem that they do not want to be there or are not interested in providing the students with the tools to succeed in higher education. This is a poor example of a school and parents should look for some alternative. Close Quote
