(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - This is school is excellent, fun and nothing like any school i've ever been to before, the teachers are great and always ready to have fun but still teach us what we need to learn, they take students and parents suggestions and they create amazing things for the students to do and the principal Mrs. Terranova is very nice, professional and eager to hear any concern, I know that when I went there she was always there to talk to, I went there 6-8 grade and now im in high school and i wish they were a high school.
