School Reviews
1 10/10/2025
I wouldn't send your children to this school unless you have no choice. Kids cuss, misbehave, and staff looks the other way (I have seen this with my own eyes). After school there is never staff outside and fights are daily as soon as school lets out on school grounds. Nothing is done. You contact school or board of Ed and they don't seem to care.
