This school should be rated 0. It is just a bully breading ground...My son gets bullied every other week..they always say it will be handled....Really a slap on da wrist back in school in a day or nothing at all..my children should not be afraid to go to school. My son tells like he should,but now he is starting to realise it does no good. So if you do not want your child beaten and bullied...FIND ANOTHER SCHOOL.
