"Overall the school is not a bad bet if you are in El Salvador for the short term, maybe a year or two, or in primary, but if you are here longer look somewhere else where your child won't obtain a mediocre education. I can personally say that what My child has achieved as an athlete and student is more because of his personal drive, than what the school has offered him. I haven't moved him fro the school because the environment, his friends and longetivity at the school have been key factors, but education wise primary is alright, high school needs improvement," said one parent with children at International School Of San Salvador in San Salvador .
