I love this school. the teachers are amazing, the curriculum is great. everything about it rocks!
2 5/12/2008
There are some wonderful teachers at this school and some great staff members, but sadly there are also some VERY bad teachers and a secrious lack of leadership by the principal. This school has the potential of being a wonderful school, but instead it seems to get worse every year and the great teachers keep leaving.
