Settles bridge elementary is awesome but too strict with a lot of teachers and I don't like how you have to pay for lunches but snacks,you have to pay. I love the school spirit a lot. I wish they would be fun and safe at the same time. Also I hate the writing in folders. I say, 3 stars out of 5. IMPROVE SETTLES BRIDGE!!!
