School Reviews
2 4/15/2016
Please avoid sending your child here, if at all possible. My child has been verbally and physically bullied all year. This abuse not only occurs during lunch but also during class. The teachers do not supervise the students. Even after sending photos of my child's injuries to the office, they have done nothing. They quite obviously do not care about the safety of their students.
