This school cannot be trusted with children they don't help kids or keep the safe.

DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD HERE! This school is a joke. They allow students to abuse other students. They don't let you speak with the teachers. The principal pays parent concerns no attention. They are very rude & inconsiderate & you don't even want to see the meals that they feed the children. Worse experience ever!
