School Reviews

5   10/22/2006
The teachers are of high quality, the staff is friendly and everyone works hard. It's like one big family. I attended for 8 years and I am still friends with my fellow students today. That school made a lasting impression on me. I even work there part time today. It's where I would send my children.
