Niche Reviews
4/2/2015
The teachers at the school care about each one of their students. They are always willing to work individually with a struggling student. Most of the teachers incorporate a hands-on teaching style, allowing students to be actively engaged in their learning rather than just listening to lectures. While they grade fairly, they do not grade harshly. However, the teachers don't always push the students to do their best.

The school culture rejects parent involvement and has rules that prevent parents from even dropping their kids...
