Good school. Teachers and staff are great, they take care of everything. Also good education.
2 4/20/2009
It would be a good school if the teachers actually showed interest in the well being of the students. Students are often judged and criticized by their race and appearance, by their teachers. Teachers do little to help prevent student injury and fights. Academics are fair, as well of parents involvement.
