School Reviews

I am only doing this because this school and all who are there - the ones who are supposed to be there for your child. ... They failed mine and many families have come forward telling me their own personal stories of this school. If your child is not In SPORTS OR Favored by the teachers and such they will be pushed aside. Bullying is a thing here, there have been several incidents of this leading to further Circumstances that COULD have been avoided if only the teachers and principals would have to step up and done something about it. I will not ever recommend this school to anyone. If you Don't know people in this town or people higher up the ladder your plea will never be heard and your children will suffer. Please do Think twice.
