School Reviews
| 1 Teachers are great and caring. It's the rest of the staff that is a nightmare. Even during covid they have to start some drama. Parents beware. You will lose sleep and develop ulcers. - Posted by Parent - Had enough |
| 2 This school is run by idiots. Teachers are burnt out and need to retire to allow caring people to help these kids. - Posted by Parent - moe |
