School Reviews
3 At this school, it's a case of your behavior determines your experience. For me, I've had a pretty good experience, but for the trouble makers they go on and on about how much they hate school. The students can be very rude at times, and same with some teachers but it's an ok school. - Posted by Student/Alumni - Z |
