Great school. My son was not doing well in his school. We transferred him over and graduated I less than a year. He now attends FIU and is doing great. I am graceful for the amazing staff who demonstrated that they love and believe in what they do. The school is great from Principal to custodian. I was definitely satisfied!!.
