I think that the teachers are very kind, and they do their best to help every student who attends this facility, but I still have a severe problem. The rules state that it is against the school policy to bully another student, yet I can see now that some of the students think it is ok not to follow these rules. I have been constantly bullied throughout the year, and I only just now notified the teachers. I believethat this would have been a wonderful school, if not for the students. They physically and verbally bully their peers and their excuse is always "lighten up! It was only a joke!" But this is NOT a joking matter. Because of them, I come home crying almost every night dreading my return to this place the next morning. I do think that the staff could do better to prevent this from happening, as most of this happens right under their noses. So please, if you are a parent looking at this, think wisely about who your child might be going to school with based on this statement.

Stuff and teachers are not that friendly. Some teachers should be reexamined; it seems that they do not want to teach, they only complain about students. Really disappointed in the school. I wound not recommend this school.
