School Reviews
1 4/20/2021
Don't be fooled by these fake reviews, the curriculum is sub par and if you move, your student will be behind their peers. Jenny Silver may fake caring about your kid but she would throw them to the wolves before she would ever take a single step out of the way to help them if her job isn't on the line. Every teacher in this school is lazy and heartless. From a woman whose kids went there K-5.
