As former student here I can confirm it’s not the best but still ok but one major issue is the lack of space in the school and not providing enough materials for the teachers.

My grandchildren attend this school. I am overall pleased with teachers and support offered to the students.

As a previous educator and as a mother I am very dissapointed in this school. I actually had to ask for homework and continually ask what they were learning about so I could help my son. The communication is severely lacking! I am really hoping for a better year!
