School Reviews

Communication is lacking, though music, dance and sports seem to be a priority. We lack supplies and most teachers feel they aren't heard... They created programs such as S. W. A. G. Time, which everyone makes fun of ( the title wasn't very wise). The science eighth grade teacher is amazing!
