The leadership at this school leaves something to be desired. The students can 'get away' with anything they want with minimal/no recourse.

My child has been at this school for quite a number of years. They have done so many cutbacks due to no funds. They are also combining classes next year due to lack of enrollment and loss of current students. I believe a private school is the better choice, just not Our Redeemer.
