Honestly, I have been going to Mark Twain school since I was in 3rd and let me just say, the teachers there do not care about their students enough. From 3rd to 6th grade, they aren’t so strict about what you do and won’t really care what happens. But seventh and eighth grade, they treat you horribly. Currently, I’m in 7th grade and for the past few months I’ve been in school, it’s been hard. There’s test twice a week or more and I know it’s an import year since it determines what high school you go to, but they treat it like it’s a holy grail. Fail a test once? Your grade goes down to a 20%. Get an a,axing 94% on an exam? Your grade goes up like 0.5 of a point. The grading sucks, the teachers are so sassy and rude, the kids are especially nasty from the attitudes they’re surrounded with, and overall I wouldn’t go to this school UNLESS it is the only nearest school, or you want to teach your kid about the “real world” and even if you do that, your kids won’t really like you as much.
