Staff and Student Experience
The majority of the reviewers have reported a very positive experience with the school staff. One reviewer, RoRo Gamergirl, mentions that the staff members are "very good" and her daughter, who attends the school, loves it and has never complained about anything.
Parking Challenges
However, one reviewer has highlighted a specific issue with parking at the school. RoRo Gamergirl mentions that the parking area can become "mayhem" when parents are dropping off or collecting their children, which is a common problem at many schools.
