by a parent
Friday, June 15, 2012

If you do not have a high social status dont bother moving here or sending you child to this school. They have a tendency to pick on the kids that their parents do not have money ar are wel known in the comunity. The education is not as it use to be either the administrion is more worried about money then the well being of the students. They have no clue what actually goes on in the classrooms or the halls and are quick to acuse without any proof. I have seen many parents have problems with the school and their children.
