School Reviews

I recently had enrolled my child in this school and it was the biggest mistake I ever did. I have been dealing with administration who doesn't care about their students and dealing with my child being bullied and nothing happens to fix the problem. This school is out of control and run by the students, not the administration or staff. All I am saying is that do your research before putting your child in this school. My child will be going somewhere else next year.

Certain math teachers do not help students that need the help. My child has math teacher Mrs.Hope and she needs help with her work. I do agree that she should study and do homework a little more often, but i see her trying so hard to understand, she has cried because she is so scared that she might fail because she doesnt understand. She has told the teacher that she doesn't understand, and the teacher blammed it on her, saying that she doesnt work hard enough and doesn't do home work, while here at hime I see her frustrated at the fact that she needs help, and Mrs.Hope just won't help her.
