Very boring I have social anxiety and I feel like im forced to talk to people my third grade teacher I’m not going to name wasn’t the nicest my second and fourth grade teachers are nice and the outside is very unwelcoming and boring

Everybody seems friendly, but there is nothing the school offers to help students who are behind as a parent you need to search elsewhere for additional help.
