My son started this school 2 years ago. I really appreciate the dedication of the faculty. Maybe the teachers you mentioned have gone. I can recommend the school without hesitation.

This school needs to be audited by the state. I was not pleased to find out that they hire teachers who are not certified. These are the teacher whom I had issues with. They shouldn't be teaching. They don't have the skills to deal with students. They pick on students. One teacher even went as far as stepping on a students foot for a dress code violation. I had reported it to the school. Now that teacher is bully my son. The principal is never available to speak with the parents. I would advise everyone to avoid this school.
