Wednesday, April 7, 2021

If I could give zero stars I would. The staff is headed by a principal who uses fear and threats to control staff as well as students, this is inappropriate for a school setting. A more professional approach and training in problem solving techniques appropriate for the setting is in order as well as communication skills in dealing with the public. Mr. Loya does not handle criticism well, taking advice personally, instead of using the information and feedback to improve his performance and image. Close Quote
