What people are saying

by a parent
Thursday, February 9, 2017

Terrible school very unorganized, the staff I is negligent towards the needs of the stupids. Very unprofessional, and at times out right disrespectful. When admin is challenged by parents, they attack with retaliatory actions against the complaining parents. I have seen staff take very inappropriate disciplinary measures against students , unfairly. However when justified means are called for appropriate disciplinary actions non are taken. Close Quote
