School Reviews
3   8/19/2021
Removed in terms of the lessons because usually, the materials are in a weird order, teachers are decent in terms of teaching. The environment is pretty good where classmates are easy to get along with. Although people would usually spend their time studying mostly in the school, it's a school where some fun is present but education is top-notched still. Kids here are mostly smart and they get things very rapidly, so it'll be a downfall if you aren't the type of absorbing information fast. Homework loads are alright as long as you manage your time, I usually finish work around after dinner, which is 6 pm or so, and the rest of the time until 9pm I study.
