School Reviews
2 5/9/2011
This is not a school, this is a probation department. The kids walk thru meteal detectors, have to remove their shoes, socks, belts, and walk thru the school all day with all their pockets turned out.
The teachers rarely lecture the classes, the kids sit and do self study or nothing at all. My child is being smacked in the back of the head, by other kids every day ,and the teachers just sit and watch this game.
