This school is horrible, the students are very rude and clique like. Basically if you haven't been in a certain group of kids, you won't ever be accepted and happy, also the teachers play favoritism towards students with older siblings. Another thing is how they handle issues isn't well, they ignore a lot of issues and I don't recommend this school. Close Quote
