School Reviews

I''ve been attending this school for a few years. Although our statistics seem horrible, this school really is a place to go if you have struggled with school or don''t like the traditional setting. The teachers care immensely about us, even though the students individual needs can be frustrating. This school operates using Mastery Education which is different than normal curriculum, but can help you get ahead or catch up if needed. Seriously one of the best schools with the most open and caring community.
