Saturday, January 30, 2016

Leadership is extremely poor, and the lack of communication is unbelievable. The principal rarely makes eye contact, and her ability to lead is so bad. She doesn't appear to even know her students. I would never recommend this school. If home schooling is an option, then that is what I recommend. Close Quote
