Wednesday, September 14, 2011

Teachers are terrible. Administration indifferent to problems brought to they're attention. Principal took the elevator key away from my son because He didn't think he should have it. My son had it because he has a fear of stairs. I DO NOT Recommend this school to anyone. Close Quote
