Horrible school, my daughter is on 6th grade but she wont going back to that school next year, teachers don't really care about students progress they just want to pass student so they keep getting government founding, you can hear the kids cursing in the hallways right in front of the principal office. if you want a safe environment and quality education do not send your child to this school.
