Open Quote I was a student teacher here and I can tell you they are doing everything right. There is a large percentage of ELL students, so this makes scores harder to achieve, but the students visibly progress so much. Each student is met at their own level at every grade in every subject. The efficiency with which this school is run is amazing. Close Quote
