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.

Ok I guess could use more government funding and overall keep the children reading more efficient.Also they should allow more playtime on the playground for the kids to get more excercise

I would say truly awful knowing my child would have done better with homeschooling. Limited programs catering to small groups, with dreary buildings, and a ridiculously barren 3-6 grade playground.
