School Reviews
| 5 This is a great School. My oldest daughter was a student here and my youngest daughter will be attending this school in 2 years. The staff and teachers are great at their jobs, they are great people as well. They work very hard to meet the needs of all of their student's and parents. - Posted by Parent - * |
| 2 The faculty turns their back to issues and they ignore reports of bullying. They resolve issues they ignore by sending kids to alternative schools. - Posted by Parent - antho |
