School Reviews
1 3/31/2021
This school made my child cry when he came back from school, if you have a child that is smart and isn''t into rap/thug stuff than your child should go to a different school, this school has a bunch of bullying and the teachers are terrible at teaching they are very rude to smart children but they really like their own kind (as in dumb) so if you want your child to ACTUALLY blaze a trail towards success then your child should not go to this school.
