What people are saying

by a parent
Friday, September 22, 2017

I think there are some serious leadership problems at this school. I'd heard it before and now I've witnessed firsthand that the principal does have her own agenda, and managing her staff to be honest and forthright is not part of it. This school might get high scores, but it's staff sincerely lacks integrity, honesty and respect towards some of it's students. Close Quote
