What people are saying

by a parent
Tuesday, October 20, 2020

I’ve heard for years that bullying was an issue here and have read it on many reviews. I was just informed my oldest was a subject of this last year. After reporting his experience to the school we heard nothing and are barely hearing about it a year later. I’m more concerned for the kids who go here and feel they have no voice as my child does.

I strongly urge this school to take a deep look at not only the history but the future of the security for the children that attend. Close Quote
