School Reviews
| 5 This was an amazing time at the school and it taught me Alot it gave me hope when I was sad with no friends it gave me friends they had faith in me when I thought no one did. - Posted by Student/Alumni - C.J. |
| 2 in a world where kids are getting enough to eat why would you give 1st graders 15 minutes for lunch. In the time to go through the line some kids just get to sit down and then they have to throw it away before they get time to eat it. SOMETHING's WRONG!! - Posted by Student/Alumni - larry |
