What people are saying

by a student
Wednesday, February 23, 2022

School boasts about being a five star school while they give you notifications discipline almost a week after it happened such as parking violations. Teachers also break their own rules and turn a blind eye to students that break the school rules. The school also charges you over $100 for a parking pass for one year that DOES NOT work at the other campus. Close Quote
