School Reviews
| 2 The worst staff I've ever seen. Allowed my child to get out of the classroom without anyone knowing and he managed to get on an elevator go to the third floor of the school for god knows how long until another teacher found him and brought him back. The principal is rude. Yelled at me pointed his finger in my face at a parent teacher meeting. The assistant principal is ignorant and doesn't speak properly. The school is very unorganized... clearly safety is an issue as my child managed to get out of a classroom and on to an elevator and clearly due to them allowing a child to get on a wrong bus as well. The schools main focus is the car rider line which is poorly ran anyways. I'd definitely not recommend this school to anyone. Very sneaky and very unhealthy environment for children - Posted by Parent - fireb |
