Staff is snobby,Teachers act like they are holyier than thou, kids who need to be on an IEP..they do nothing for..Teachers are too busy to help kids who need it!! If your kids go here and need extra help in their subjects, don't expect much, If they do need help because they won't get it, teachers are too busy to help your child! so glad my kids are out of there!! They are doing so much better in their New School!! Close Quote
