3.0 Middle School Student

5/11/2018

I graduated in 2014, when the school was just beginning to convert to an IB school. The lower grade teachers are great but as the grades get higher, the teaching quality begins to fall apart. There are some unnecessary classes and some of the teachers are way outdated.
