"Good Education, But Some Concerns"

We have mixed feelings about our time at The Compton School. Our son had a good education and his teachers were generally supportive. However, we did have some issues with communication from the school and we felt that some of the facilities were a bit outdated. Overall, we're glad we chose The Compton School, but there's room for improvement.
