What people are saying

by a parent
Thursday, May 24, 2018

There are instructors at this school who bring their political and religious views into the classroom. Administrators value athletics over academics. Community nepotism is blatantly obvious. Very little communication between staff and parents. Racist, close minded attitudes Close Quote
