"Good but could improve communication"

We had a great experience at Yardleys, but I felt that communication between teachers and parents could be improved. While the teachers are committed to their students' success, it can be hard to get a clear understanding of how your child is doing. That being said, I appreciate the school's focus on developing the whole child.
