The principal is very unprofessional and it shows the way the staff members conduct themselves....lack of educational training..... Close Quote

Wednesday, February 13, 2019

Teachers do not care, they do not go above and beyond for their students.
They are rude and it may all start from the principal in this school. She has to be one of the most laziest principals ever. School does not have any extra activities for students, no Saturday help classes, no sports teams, no family nights, nothing. Many parents took there children out of the school check there enrollment status. Board of Ed provide a miracle starting with the principal first. Close Quote
