School Reviews
2 9/16/2010
This school is old and they don't even touch up the old paint for the new year. No fun new colors. No clean fresh start for the kids, just a gaudy yellow paint with tons of chipped and marked up paint patches all over the walls.
The office assistants need some help too.. They seem nice enough, but dodn't seem happy with thier jobs. If you go to the office to ask a question, they will ignore you until you say something. And, if you do get any help they act very impatient with you.
