the school is good and I've learned a lot more in my classes this semester than st my last school. teachers try to help and other students are mostly ok. I had a lot of trouble staying ahead in public school but at Palo Alto prep I'm staying on track.

This school is amazing. I have been going here for at least a year and a half. I have been able to actually learn and maintain information.
