School Reviews
4 6/26/2021
I learned so much at this school. Not only did I learn academics, I also learned social skills and how the world's going to be. I went to the school in the 2020 to 2021 school year during covid. I know I didn't get the real experience of how the school would be on a normal year but I had a good experience The teachers are nice and good teachers for the most part especially Mrs Davenport who taught me so much about math and made me feel like I could do it because I always thought I would never be good at math. Yes, there are kids that curse and try to get into fights but those types of people will be everywhere and to be with this group of kids taught me that the world isn't all butterflies and rainbows and that you just need to find your group of people that treats you the way you want to be treated.
