School Reviews
| 1 I have been going here for years yes sometimes they do good things but I never see respect they only treat their family members good and no one else and they are very cheap when it comes to field trips they get $600 every Friday and can't spend it on the students instead they keep it for their selves I do appreciate staff there but not all staff thank you for respecting my review. - Posted by Student/Alumni - Ayah Awad |
| 5 This school is great for immigrants to the US. If your child is an English language learner, this is the place to bring them. - Posted by Administrator - aamcc |
