Friday, July 17, 2020

This school has downhill and does not operate well. They will not give full details/hide information from parents. Would not recommend. Teachers here are not always cut out for the job. Some teachers have posted nudes on the internet. Others stress political views way to much. Administration is not trustable, they will tell lies do not expect the full truth from them. The school has also taken down all negative google reviews about them from the past year. Administration is mismanaged, and is not a healthy environment for kids. School has had numerous issues with racial slurs. And is over ran and controlled by rich parents. Lots of the parents here feel entitled like their kids. Close Quote
