What people are saying

by a parent
Tuesday, November 9, 2010

If your kid can not take harsh treatment do not send them here. They assign to much homwork. and the teacher are allowed to yell at them and make them do homwork standing up outside. The director of the school will not enforce a zero tolerence for no bulling or no name calling. His name is Dr. Retana and he is the biggest bulley there. Close Quote
