School Reviews
| 2 Some of the worst teachers ever encountered. They combine laziness with emotional cruelty to the children. It is common knowledge in the community that this school is just something that must be endured until the high school, which is much better. - Posted by Parent - wdran |
| 2 Four years later, I am still coping with the damage that one year of school there did. She did well at another school but this one left scares. - Posted by Parent - becak |
