School Reviews
| 1 Make school bigger because my son complains that there is too many students in the school - Posted by Parent - Tom Henderson |
| 1 This school is way too over crowded I've been inside and there is way more kids than 1,041 - Posted by Parent - Ppap |
| 5 This school sounds awesome and educational! - Posted by Student/Alumni - Pedro Cena |
| 2 Student to teacher ratio is inaccurate. Classrooms are over crowded and teachers aren't able to teach efficiently. Parents have to provide all of the supplies and re-teach their kids at home because the teacher is unable to assist them while they're in school. The time frame for school lunch is non existent because they spend the majority of lunch waiting on line. Leaving your child hungry and unable to concentrate. They emphasize the importance of being on time to class and have them running from floor to floor in order to get to their next period. They have a ridiculous grading method now where they are setting these children up for failure. If you do not believe this just ask any of the parents you come across. They will be more than happy to tell you the truth. - Posted by Parent - ppopa |
