    The Bush School Reviews

    I have been going to bush for quite a few years now, and being at the school makes me happy. I love that all my classes are interesting and offer new perspectives. The STEM classes are challenging but come with good teachers to help you through it. I will say that the diversity at bush isn't very well but the new kindergarten class has so much diversity! This gives me hope that bush will continue to be an excellent school for students who want to be the best, kindest, smartest, and happiest versions of themselves.

    Your experience at Bush will widely depend on how much effort you put in. The academics are intense and the workload can be stressful, but if organize your time well and meet with teachers when you're struggling then you should not have any issues. The school is small so sometimes social activities are nonexistent however, the size of the school can work toward your benefit because you will become very close with the limited students in your class.
    Been here since kindergarten and I love it! The teachers are super caring and I learn so much. The community supports each other and care for each other. I would highly recommend The Bush School.
