Teachers are supportive and dedicated to students and communicating with families. My daughter was challenged and grew a lot. She was also encouraged to excel and go above what was expected of her. Distance learning was difficult during the last two months of school because of the pandemic, but we made sure our daughter attended every day and she passed all her classes! My daughter has life goals for her future and her goals and dreams were encouraged. I am hoping 5th grade will start with distance learning since the COVID is still an issue.
