This school didn’t actually try for me. When I struggled they do to they way I think they pushed their ways of teaching on me more. They didn’t try anything different most of the classmates I went with could agree with me. There were a few rude teachers, and if I ever tried to explain myself they wouldn’t listen to my reason. There is also a huge drug problem across the whole town even in the learning environments.

As a fairly new school, Eagle Heights is hitting it's stride. Communication with staff is easy and they have many family events to get all involved. Our kids love going to school each day, and connecting with teachers, staff and peers around the community.
