I think the students and faculty would do better with more sleep. The interest and attention spans would probably improve & less grumpiness if hours were 8-3, or 9-4. That necessary down time for Students brains and body growth developments should be a priority.

This school needs work. There are discipline problems. Teachers seem apathetic and non-cohesive. Not a good place to learn. Test scores are very low.
