| 5 This school Is the BEST! I love it. - Posted by Student/Alumni - amiet |
| 2 This school has a lot of problems. Poor teachers are never weeded out, but stay for 30 years. Much emphasis on worksheet and rote learning. Principal seems to care more about appearances, cleanliness, etc., than quality of education. Poor staff morale. - Posted by Parent - nglis |
