Posted April 11, 2006

I went here last year. Most of the teachers were great. I loved it. It was a bit low-tech, but there were many afterschool programs, Parks & Rec activities, and other programs, But due to the No Child Left Behind act, I didn't feel very challenged. There was the New Britain Gifted and Talented to help with that, though. There were also wonderful rewards for completing homework, though it should be a given.
