School Reviews
| 5 I went to that school and I was so happy to go to a new school and I thought the school was going to be bad, but it was not the teachers. I liked some of them not all of them because they always had an attitude with me so I had detention a lot. - Posted by Student/Alumni - Destiny dixon |
