What people are saying

by a parent
Wednesday, December 14, 2011

I feel as though the students receive very little individual attention and the teaching staff is overwhelmingly lazy. The school is saved by the population who attends and would be a disaster of a school if it was located in a different neighborhood. An additional problem I have with he school is the snob factor, I often feel like there is a "VIP list" of students and parents. The amount of money the school asks for is also alarming. Close Quote
