GreatSchools Rating
Parent Rating Average
6 out of 7 grandchildren have attended Patriot! Some of these grandchildren have left with all A’s. A couple others have a slight learning disability. Learning is very hard for them. Patriot offers extra help during school hours. This is good, but when they return to class it seams like they are behind on what has gone on while they were away. That means extra home work with a parent who is already working long hours and tries to pay attention in little amount of time. I don’t have an idea on how to fix this. Just saying from this point of view.
