School Reviews
| 2 If a sub ever has a bad day, this school is it. The students are not just chatty but just out of control. The front desk is not much help either. The secretary is just plain rude and disrespectful. Needless to say this school should be on every sub's black list. - Posted by Teacher - johnk |
