I think there is a good quality of parental involvement. If your child is above average but not quite T.A.G. material, the school does not cater to this group, so you will be disappointed. They group all levels of learners in the same group, so the slow-learners are grouped with the fast learners. The fast learners are neglected, because they have to wait for the teacher to cater to the slow learners. Also, do not get on the principals bad side. It will be held against your child. That is a fact.
