School Reviews
1 5/9/2022
I have never been SO DISAPPOINTED with a school in my life! I have 6 children and 14 grandchildren, so I have a great deal of experience with public schools throughout the country, and never have I witnessed such mistreatment and neglect from any school. My grandson has become physically ill because of the fear and anxiety he deals with in going to school every day! Our complaints and cries for help were ignored and the faculty themselves took part in this mistreatment. What a DISGRACE to have An institution like this continue to be responsible for the well-being and education of so many of our precious children! For anyone considering this place for your child-RUN!
