Friday, November 26, 2021

Once upon a time this was a great school, but the principal has run off so many great teachers and fires at least one teacher / staff member every year. This school is not about education and creating an environment where children thrive. It’s about fluff and spin. Close Quote

What a complete dump of a school. This is not the same school as it was even two years ago. Close Quote
