Open Quote I feel like all the care about is reputation. The teacher per student ratio is higher than what this says. They’re always asking for money and care more about fundraisers than education. Also. At the start of a new year, they expect the kids to have learned so much over the summer and come in ready to test on things the previous teacher didn’t teach. Also, high turnover. They don’t care about counseling support from their counselor. One counselor for the whole school and she left. Teachers are young and inexperienced. Close Quote
