It is a great school. I love it. Everything is great about it. Close Quote

Coming from someone who went there, about 2 of their teachers are worth their salary. Administration is HORRIBLE and just as caddy as the students. If you send your kids here, it must be because you don't love them. They're absolutely ridiculous. There's a new principal from when I was there, but I heard it's not much better. More strict, yet school sucks just as much as it did in previous years, if not sucks more from the things I've heard! Close Quote
