5.0 Junior

8/1/2023

Many of the teachers are very kind, helpful and know how to keep their students on track. However there are fights that also tend to breakout. I would love to see the school change their approach to children in need of better help, and find more inclusive ways to get everyone together.

One teacher in particular...
