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.

Some of the teachers are great but like I said SOME are. Some need a little bit more training it seems. The newer teachers are what I'm talking about. That takes time though which is understandable.

You get what you put in. If you are a motivated student the teachers will improve you. If you want to skate by, well that is what you get, the minimum. This school can be the pathway to excellence, or mediocrity, but you make the choice. This school is a tool to be used.
