Open Quote It's a good school, depends on your teachers to a certain extent Close Quote


by a parent

Open Quote The teacher's at this school are not accountable for thier actions. The vice principle is ignored and the principle does not call you back. Agreements are made easily and broken easily. It is evident that the school lacks communication amongst the staff. If you are looking for any assistance or immediate answers do not hold your breath. The ranking of 115 is well deserved.
