School Reviews
| 1 School bends to wishes of a few without considerations to all others. - Posted by Parent - Wish |
| 2 This school is filled with a bunch of skanky girls and boys who do not care about anyone except themselves. Every single person is stuck up and there are so many cliques. Good luck if you're a little different and want an intelligent conversation. This school has been the worst four years of my life. - Posted by Student/Alumni - poopo |
