- **4/5** — A decent effort, but room for improvement: I have mixed feelings about Sycamore Short Stay School. The school's values of safe, respect, and learn are admirable, and I appreciate the emphasis on creativity and enrichment activities. However, I sometimes feel that the school could do more to involve parents in the decision-making process. Communication can be a bit patchy at times, which can make it difficult to stay informed about my child's progress. Overall, it's a decent school, but there's definitely room for improvement. *(Mar 2021)*
