School Reviews

2   1/5/2012
This was the worst school I have ever encountered. My son attended this school and he was treated like trash. Most of the teachers displayed signs of prejudice. My sons self esteem dropped tremendously while he attended this school. My husband and I decided to relocate our family so my son wouldn't have to go through what he went through at this school.
