What people are saying

by a teacher
Friday, July 22, 2022

This school is falling apart, literally and figuratively. Administration is run by people with no practical experience who care about covering up deep-rooted flaws with performances. Many of teachers and administers lack proper education and experience. Class sizes are too large. Students spend more time preparing for performances than they do learning, which is reflected in their test scores. Close Quote
