7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI am a delivery driver. Upon arrival. I followed instructions to the front entrance, and on my way up, multiple staff members made comments about my body and my appearance. I left the food by the door as instructed, and immediately they began telling me how that's a bad spot to leave it (exactly where the customer wanted.) These teachers are just grown up bullies that never left their hometown. I would NEVER send my child here.Other Review1mo ago - Brainerd Senior High School
