I rate tehippiti so low because they are no help with harassment and bullying at school. They go through the motions but nothing productive or solvent comes of it. My kid no longer enjoys school, she can't concentrate on her learning because the constant harassment in class. Teachers act like they don't hear a thing. It's ridiculous. I'm scared for my daughter, she's been punched in the back, hit with rulers, and thrown to the ground..help Close Quote

This is unfortunately one of the schools if you dare call it school, I would liken it more to a detention center. From enrollment to withdrawal it is a sad experience. Most staff is on a self preservation Mode coupled with indifference. One need to be an adrenaline junkie to appreciate this environment. Maybe 10% can glean a sustainable day out of it. We would not recommend to the Normal person. No. Close Quote
