Abusive teachers and poor care with special needs children. Teachers speak very disrespectfully to students even curse at them and have no patience or compassion for students at PE every in over 90 degree weather they are forced to do strenuous activities and run often children throw up from the heat and the amount of running in extreme heat. I would never recommend this school Close Quote
