School Reviews

This school has been an absolute nightmare for our family. Children should not have to attend a school where they will be bullied, tormented and physically attacked. There is a huge issue with bullying and children with behavioral issues at this school.

The school is over crowded, and bullying is a big issue here. Discipline is a joke.
