The quality of what the teachers are teaching is pretty good. I would say in the 7th and 8th grades the teachers should hold more small groups for those who do not understand the assignments. The staff all together is amazing and kind though. The availability of music, art, sports, and dance is outstanding! And the teachers who hold those classes are amazing too!
