School Reviews
2 10/10/2025
Glad there appears to be a fair number of teachers per child for meaningful learning. Trusting that the certified teachers can produce for the school population. The minority ratio is disturbing. How many children and teachers are English speaking? This is a set up for long hard hours of fatigue for the faculty. How does the county plan on providing the utmost support possible for the child/teacher working atmosphere? Very tough situation for any school. Not good.
