In the beginning it was a good school but now it is the worst charter school. They like punishing student for being sick. If parents want to stress about education, books, and clothing. With education they don't have curriculum so different classes will get off topic. There is no books. Lastly with uniform, if child shoe have any color such as heel, sides, or bottom of shoe have any color children will get punish.
