School Reviews
2 11/12/2014
Teachers are mean, do not choose to help the students, too much bullying. Teachers seem to not care for the students and seems like they just want to get over with the lessons. They also get annoyed if the student does not under stand the lesson and also dislike when they ask too many questions. There it too much bullying because teachers are not aware or they seem to just think that it is an act. I do not recommend going to this school because of these reasons.
