School Reviews
1 3/27/2020
Worst school experience I've ever had. Teachers refused to help students who were lagging behind because of their poor teaching skills. School staff telling lies, promising to help, refusing to do so when asked. Nobody did anything to help students, not only in education, but keeping them safe. Bullies were praised while those being bullied were abused. Some big kid comes and starts beating you up and you so much as lift a finger to try to stop them and you're the one getting in trouble. The bully walks away free of any punishment. Some teachers also became bullies. If I could give this school a zero star rating, I would do so... I hope they've fixed the food issues since I was there. Nobody likes biting into a mold, or having to run to the cafeteria to get food that it so limited that it runs out halfway through the line.
