"Some Great Aspects, But Room for Improvement"

We've been pleased with some aspects of the school, such as the bikeability program and the school's commitment to mental health. However, we've experienced some communication breakdowns and felt that some staff members could be more approachable. Overall, it's been a mixed experience.
