Open Quote We were deceived to bring our children over to enroll them in the alpha program. If you still look at thier website they still claim to have a foreign language which they do not have one year later. The principle refused to allow my daughter to go to the daddy daughter dance because she turned her form in a day late although I asked the secretary to send one home. She forgot and was going to email me one which I never received. They messed up on my daughter's grades on her interim report giving her an F instead of an A. On one grade they have her a 100/10,000 instead of a 100/100. They did not have a bus route in place for our children there first week of school. When the bus driver is out, expect the bus driver an hour late, and last the bus driver told my son that WW III was going to happen because Trump was president. Which I had to read in his daily journal that he feared for his life. Ridiculous. Worst school. Close Quote
