Sunday, March 31, 2019

This school practices discrimination. I had a child attend this school for two years. In those two years he was taunted & bullied by the staff. My child ended up with severe anxious issues. They would use any excuse to discipline him. So far as suspension for socks, detention for talking in the halls and even tried to hold my son back for failing 1 class. Never offering him tutoring or any extra help. The Dean at this school has zero experience in education and is over excited to discipline a child. I wish I never sent my child here this will effect him for the rest of his life. Horrible school. Close Quote
