Less than ideal education system, the Kindergarten teacher was lazy , inept , loud and annoying, had trouble with basic spelling .(a teacher no less) The Dean was an absolute bully, frightening actually , and the Principal was a political yes ma'am with zero backbone . My child was better off skipping K all together. I recommend a 2 star review because the structure itself was nice and very clean, kudos to their janitorial staff only. great job to the maintenance crew! Close Quote
