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.

high-pressure, chaotic, and toxic school environment characterized by a lack of empathy from staff. Teachers are reported to be rude and disrespectful, sometimes laughing at struggling students rather than offering support.
