Pros

One of the only good things about the district is the ASPIRE award that is handed out every January to recognize teacher performance.

Cons

There is no reason that a child should be in school from 7:30am to 6:00pm. It is far too progressive for it's own good. Teachers are not allowed to give students an environment conducive to actual learning- rather, they are made to teach their students how to bubble in a scantron and eliminate answer choices.
