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.

This school is quite good. The food has gotten better over the years. Freshman year, the food sucke, but the service then got better. The teachers are good. I would like them to change their backpack policy and their phone policy, but other than that, they're doing pretty well

Platt is a good school to go to because it gets you ready for the work force by helping you pick out a trade. They also have a good academic system that allow you to learn whatever your supposed to learn in that grade. They have tutors and other systems for students who speak a different language, over all the school is a good place to learn but I wont say much about the school lunch because it's whatever the state gives them.

Now certainly there is sometimes a good teacher that you can get, but for the rest, you are in a lottery that you will probably lose. With the math program, Aleks, we are taught by a web pr...
