School Reviews
5 10/10/2025
This school is great for students who know where they're going in life and have something they love, like art, theatre etc, but the student/teacher ratio is way off. There are 29 children in a class my child is in, and 28 in another. The teacher simply cannot get to know her student as well because there are so many kids.
