School Reviews
| 2 This school is very poor and therefore, cannot offer a good educational experience. The administrators are biased and do not treat everyone equally. There are some very good teachers, but they need a better environment. There are no advanced classes and the students are not well prepared to further their education. - Posted by Student/Alumni - lbivi |
