- **4/5** — A Good School with some Room for Improvement: We've had a generally positive experience at Joseph Rowntree School, but there are some areas where we feel the school could improve. The curriculum is broad and well-rounded, and our child has enjoyed participating in the extra-curricular activities. However, we've occasionally found communication with the school to be a bit lacking, and there have been some issues with the school's online platform. Overall, it's a good school, but there's room for growth. *(Feb 2020)*
