  • I attended this school, so i would know what i am saying. i am still a teenager, but i am older and i have visited this school twice since i left, obviously i formed a bond with my teacher and my small class of eleven. the education prepared me very well for sixth grade; i felt like comfortable with most of the material covered. the only not so great aspect were the sports. i loved what we did, but i know that many cuts were happening in the arts and sports department, and the physical education was extremely fun but also short.
