School Reviews
2 1/31/2011
I went to this school district from Kindergarten to two months into my junior year of high school.. The teachers do not care about the children at all and the principals definently don't care about them. I was made fun of day in and day out and no one did anything. I finally gave in and started standing up for myself.. which meant I broke someones jaw. After that, things started looking better, but I do not recommend anyone else have to go through that. It was not fun.
