i'm very impressed with the teaching skills that you all have displayed in my children. Thank you, Diane Morgan
Great school all around. Teachers need to give more homework. Education used to continue on into the evenings.We have left that culture. Kids go home and completely disconnect from studying. They go home and play video games and watch tv. Minds should be more active and more aware of the reasons need they show up to school the next day.
This school is much safer than others in the area. Smaller student-teacher ratio means students get more personal attention. Communication is consistent between teachers and students' families.
Its a good school, but they must work to raise the ability of students to score higher on the grass root level.
As a whole, the school would be better off under state management. It is a revenue stream for the founder primarily, and as such, administrative decisions are made without respect to the culture or the needs of the students. There is an extremely high rate of atrition, so consistency for the campus is a non issue unless consistent low performance and dysfunction is desirable. Something significant needs to happen for the students. There are a few highlights, but there seems to be no desire whatever on behalf of the board to resolve the design problems with the program.
