School Reviews
5 8/16/2024
This is an excellent school with caring teachers who give personalized attention to each student. Going to this school has saved me from being corrupted by public school and has saved my religion. I wouldn't be the person I am now if I didn't go to this school. Some students may say that this school isn't good, but those were the students who never put in the work themselves. Overall, this is a great school and I 100% recommend it.
