School Reviews
| 2 I attended this school and was severely bullied. Including phone calls from the granddaughter of a teacher saying I should kill myself and was punished by the staff for reporting it. From what I hear it has not changed. Protect the staff not the children - Posted by Student/Alumni - drnkt |
