It deserves a lower score after what I have been through when I was a student years ago. IThey let juvenile delinquents run amok and never give them their just reward. I speak from experience. I was once a victim of unpunished bullying. I have advice for parents whose kids are about start school there: get them the heck out of this place ASAP. They'll have a better future anywhere but here. Close Quote
