What people are saying

by a parent
Saturday, January 16, 2016

The school has a significant drug problem, and bullying problem. Administrators do not take any actions to stop either, and the bullying actually takes place at all levels (administrators are bullying the teachers and parents). The athletic department is corrupt, with coaches violating all rules, and actually harming kids. Again, no action is taken by the administration. Close Quote
