Terrible school Horrible teachers. They are afraid of the bullying kids and bully the kids that have disabilities. Only getting 1 score because they refused to let me give a -5.

First of all, this is such a bad school, I would give it a zero if I had to but only 5th grade is the best grade. Now here is the bad stuff, you can't take a quiz or a test because theirs so much ruckus going out in the halls like babies crying, or somebody screaming, etc. Their bathrooms smell so bad like a skunk just farted. There are fights almost every day and I can so much more, but I wouldn't want to waste my time. All I'm concluding is NEVER AND I MEAN NEVER LET YOUR KID IN THAT SCHOOL.
