School Reviews

I go to this school and I think it's a great place to learn. The teachers are really nice and supportive and help you if you're having a good day. They also have a sense of humor and that''s a good thing to have if you're going to teach kids. Sure, there are some kids who are mean, but the teachers are there to help. Most of the time, people say they don't do anything about it, but that's not true! The kids just don't speak up. This school is great and I think it deserves a 5 star rating.
