School Reviews
| 5 this school is the pits.My sons went there a few years ago and if I had it to do over again I would not have sent them there. My sons are white and were in classes above honors which the colleges did not recognize.One son dropped out the other graduated and did go to college . If I had it to do over again things would have been different. - Posted by Parent - Tiger |
