School Reviews
5 4/14/2016
The school is very clean and well kept, but unfortunately the teachers have a lot of issues with each other. The drama is so bad that the school had to have a private meeting about the gossiping. I spent some time at this school and I can definitely say that Andrea McIntyre starts a lot of the personal problems at the school.
