Open Quote I would give below 0 if I could. Terrible environment, teachers, management. They only take credit of hardworking intelligent students. They have no contribution of their success. School provides no effort on the failing students to succeed.
All they care is money money money, donations donations.
Expensive and worthless field trips 6 days in a year, clubs that are not providing any value..
located in the middle of market place that cause a lot of traffic. I have no idea how they got permission from the state to open a school in a marketplace.
Glad to leave them. Never coming back Close Quote
