Not a good school unless you are a native. The native students get first dibbs on everything. Big problem with bullying and preferential treatment. Teachers that have been there awhile are lazy and not motivated to do more with the students. It does not matter about your child's capabilities, it matter's who your child is related to. I do not recommend this school. You'd be better off Home Schooling. Close Quote

Not a good school. Unless of course you are from Aynor/ Aynor money. Does not matter how smart your child is. Close Quote
