I would not recommend this school. The teachers are terrible. They don't want to teach these students, they just fail the students. Awful!! Close Quote

This was the worst school I've ever been in. All the students are extremely disrespectful to authority figures. Most teachers there can't manage the class rooms because the kids are just so out of control. I hardly learned anything throughout the entire school year because there is no way to even concentrate in a class room full of kids acting as if they were wild animals. Thank god I will be moving to another school, because that school is just unbearable! Parents, if you truly care about your kids education, do your kids a favor by not letting them into that school.
