I recommend this school because there is so much tutoring. Everyone would help you when you need it. There are after school activity that you could attend to. We have a principal that cares about how we act when we got to field trips, or when there are guests in the building. The teachers are nice and helpful especially Middle School teachers. Learning another language is fun and can help you to get more money as you get older.
