School Reviews
1 1/29/2020
I went to school here all 6 years (K-5) and it was a bad experience for me because I was the minority, yes, Hispanic, and the teachers withheld me from the full experience of learning. I am a senior in high school now, and I'm graduating this spring 2020. No thanks to this school, or the whole Bonn home district at all.
