Monday, January 6, 2020

Excellent school! The only reason I graded 4 stars is because the School’s principal it’s a rude and loud lady with parents and students, where are her manner in front of the students???i saw her many times yelling at the students and parents. Beyond that everything is excellent. Close Quote
