School Reviews
2 4/9/2015
The school is great, but the office staffs are horrible. They will not answer phone calls and emails regarding anything and voicemail is your best friend. Finally being fed up with the voicemails, I went to the school. Never have I ever felt attacked until being there. They will not listen and they will continue to give you numbers to call. Therefore, one star.
