School Reviews

This school does not help in bulling protection. I am a 9th grader and I get beat up almost everyday because I am gay. Some teachers just walk by when I am getting kneed in my stomach after class. The only teacher that does anything about bullying is Mrs. Williams. Thank you so much for helping me Mrs. Williams.
