The Teachers work very hard and they care about the students. The current administration does not. This school is on a downward spiral.

This school is below average I would not recommend this school under any circumstances.This school is also draining mentally and it's more about testing and memorizing the answers instead of actually learning.

I'd give it a 8.5/10 as there's always room for improvement. However, this has been the best charter school I've worked at so far. I look forward to the continued success of the school.
