Is "which" correct?

Hi!

Is the underlined "which" correct? any other mistakes?

The headmaster indicated that there is a primary school in Johnbourge which offers education up to tenth grade but after that it is possible to study in any of the high schools from the surrounding area.

Thank you!

The headmaster indicated that there is a primary school in Johnbourge which offers education up to tenth grad e, bu t after that it is possible to study in any of the high schools in the surrounding area. With the comma, your sentence is fine, but a primary school that continues to the 10th grade is a rare bird indeed.

AnonymousI don't agree with the previous reply about a comma: the relative clause is clearly restrictive, so a comma after "which" would be incorrect.
Nobody suggested a comma after 'which'.
