When i was in Elementary School, my mom didn't want me to go here because people said it''s a horrible school. But my mom and i decided i should go since my Elementary school teacher recommended me to go just to see and i really liked it all the teachers i had were really nice and helped my friends and I get good grades. I feel like the only reason people say it''s a bad school is because some kids don't have parents that are on top of them either because they work too much or they stay at home doing nothing which basically is a way of giving your kid the say so to do what they want like fighting or causing drama at school. If you send your kid there, I will make sure to ask him/her how school was and communicate with teachers and they will do fine.
