The state doesn't fund this school and it's literally falling apart. The school system in this area is broken.The teachers and the principal lack the concern, compassion and care, which make them the real bullies of the school system. Miserable staff and faculty. A few years ago a child died here because of neglect and now I can see why. Close Quote
