If I could, I'd give the school no stars.My children used to go there, and my youngest I pulled out of classes in 2021. In a parent's opinion, I couldn't have chosen a worse school to teach proper education. The teachers at this school are severely underpaid and overworked, as well as forced to do several different jobs and roles so the school can keep running. The only reason the school hasn't shut down is that the staff are running around doing God knows to get everything done. The town that the school resides in is very small-minded, and unanimously the "favorited" children get picked for the top titles. My daughter worked herself to death trying to get by and teachers curved the grades of students who do not do any kind of work just so they could graduate and "be done" with those unruly students. Is that really how you want your child's education to go? I should've seen the signs early on when kids were throwing around racial slurs and saying profanity and they weren't being disciplined. Freedom of speech, yes, but profanity is strictly prohibited in schools, right? Maybe not so much back in my day, but I know that should've been a red flag from the start. Secondly, there was a lot of bullying with no repercussions. I don't know how the place is scraping by other than overpricing every small celebration they hold, but I know the teachers there have the most control. If even a single teacher were to leave, I truly believe that the small "school" they have would be no more if they didn't supply the most underqualified substitutes to run the rest of their classes- as they have done so in the past. Furthermore, the safety of students are completely left up to fate as almost everyone carries a pocket knife. I get the need to protect yourself, I carried a few when I was in school, but when someone has threatened my children with one openly in the middle of class and nothing is done about it, I see a big problem. So, as a father to quite a few little devils, if you're considering sending them to this school you should be very prepared for black eyes and bull, because there's plenty to go around at this place. If I could I'd redo the years and take them somewhere else, because there isn't a worse place than this.
