I am a current student here and this school is deeply disappointing on multiple levels, from the way students are treated to the basic conditions of the campus itself.Many teachers consistently misuse their authority, relying on intimidation and arbitrary punishment instead of guidance and respect. Students are often spoken to in a condescending or hostile way, and asking questions or challenging unfair treatment is met with defensiveness rather than explanation. Several teachers also appear unprepared or unable to clearly teach the material, yet students are blamed when they struggle. Learning here feels less like education and more like a power struggle.Beyond the classroom, the school’s basic utilities and facilities are outdated, poorly maintained, and in some cases outright gross. Restrooms, common areas, and other essential spaces are not kept to an acceptable standard, making the environment uncomfortable and unhygienic. It’s hard to take learning seriously when the school can’t even manage basic upkeep.The food situation only adds to the problem. Meals are low quality, unappealing, and clearly not a priority. For a place responsible for students’ well-being, the lack of care put into food is unacceptable.Overall, this school seems more focused on control and appearances than on student health, comfort, or education. Between the abusive use of authority, inadequate teaching, neglected facilities, and terrible food, this is not a place where students are set up to succeed. I would strongly recommend looking elsewhere.
