This is the dirtiest school ad they have rudest teachers and security guards! I have seen them put their hands on children’s curse at them and even take them into dark rooms! My son came home and told me he saw them take a child! Horrible school and the principal is very childish! She needs to be retrained! The whole staff should be replaced!
