My two kids are currently attending Banner and we are very pleased with the education, small class sizes and overall school culture. Students start middle school in 5th grade and will be well ahead of their peers when they graduate 8th grade.

If the employees are running then something is obviously going on and no one will communicate. Too many unanswered questions and too ma...
