Old schooled system, food also in cafeteria for children is all fast food, not acceptable. Do not see my child thriving in this school environment at all. Anyone can teach but only few teach with their heart open for children to thrive, preparing them for this world. School system needs to undergo complete new ways of teaching and not being taught old stuff. We live in the very fast developing wold, what was taught back then is not acceptable now. Close Quote

BEWARE ....School is way outdated. Buildings need repair. Contractors were replacing the old rain gutters and left old metal shards laying around all over the school ground where students play. This was brought to the administration and there was 0 reaction from them. No sense of urgency to correct the problem. The teachers are narcissistic. The only students the teachers "like" are those who fit in with his or her expectations, comfort zone, and ego for whatever reason. Any students who DON'T FIT are labeled with behavior issues, ignored, cast aside, dismissed, and even sabotaged. There is huge favoritism going on at this school with students of rich families that attend. Close Quote
