It depends on what you expect out of a school. My child graduated G5 in Sais. Academically, it is definitely NOT challenging at all. It is a 'fun' place to be.

Are you kidding me? If it was a "fun" place then why did you keep your child there?

Perhaps that was important to him/her. What's your problem with the answer? Not every parent is seeking an academically challenging experience.

I had way too much fun as a kid, so much so that during my last 2 years of high school I set a major "challenge" for myself to see how little I could do and still graduate. By the last year I had it down to 2 classes (1/2 day was spent playing on the computer & one regular class) and no homework at all. By graduation I had met my goal and graduated in the bottom 10% of my HS class. This had no effect on the final outcome though... I went on to community college, then transfered to a good University and ended up doing very well, by the final semester I'd made the dean's list. Honestly, school is overrated. Only 20% of a person's success comes from the academic side, and 80% is social. I can only hope my kids will enjoy as much as I did.

The school management is bad. High school is suck . This school is more on business base.

IT's a classic 'for profit' school. As the owners desire for profit ramps up the invesment and opex drops.
