School Reviews

The principal is a lying, manipulative poor excuse as a principal. The reviews don't lie. The ratings don't lie. She is running this school in order to the ground more and more every day. Our children are not safe under her policies And it's almost impossible to speak with her. She's the type that throws her staff under the bus to do her dirty work.
