We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I can say the 4 years I have attended this school it has been a roller coaster from teachers leaving, small amount of sports, very small campus etc. Even though this school has negatives it also comes with positives like involving many activities that the students will enjoy, great support from staff and teachers, helpful resources, and just making sure the students are on track to graduate.

The students constantly complained because of new untrained teachers without credentials and a high turnover rat...
