"Some Positives, Some Negatives"

We've had a mixed experience with Brackensdale Spencer Academy. The school's facilities are excellent and the teachers are generally very good. However, we've experienced some communication issues with the school office and our child has had some difficulties adjusting to the curriculum. Overall, it's been an okay experience, but we're not entirely satisfied.
