Sunday, June 30, 2024

The management of this school is very poor. Communicating faculty and getting any information from them I s like talking to a black hole. No one not principle or vice principle or any guidance counselor has ever gotten back to me to answer any concern I had in the while of 4 years my child was a student there. Close Quote
