School Reviews

I rate this school a 0. I have never seen a school run so poorly. From the principal to the teachers. Of course there are a few great teachers that do care about the children's education. But for the most part majority don''t. Don''t send your child here. It is beyond ghetto. Fights and bullying occurred almost every day. There is no control and and nobody seems to give a damn. The teachers are there to collect their check and so is the principal. It is a poor reflection on her.
