It is a really bad experience to be in this school. The constant insecurity due to fights, teachers who don't care about teaching but rather doing the minimum to earn their wage, security guards that do not seem prepared based on their response to various conflicts, etc...These people don't allow you to choose your own classes and when you ask them a favor it takes an eternity to solve something as small as a signature. Staff is unbelievable disrespectful, especially a security guard who I will not mention that's always mean and immature. The overall environment is not the best, as it is always packed and there's no order to move from one place to another. I had classes with people who were extremely behind and were slowing down lessons, and ironically, lessons were not what one would expect at a 9, 10,11, or 12 grade as they were ridiculously easy and boring. The only thing I liked was the infrastructure.

This school is not suitable for children. I strongly advise against sending your children here. My daughter attended this school for the fifth and sixth grades, and she endured bullying. Despite my daughter’s distress, the school administration failed to take any action. She even attempted to take her own life, but the principal dismissed her concerns as “kids being kids,” which is an insensitive response, especially when children are being subjected to physical and emotional bullying. As a result, my daughter became fearful of attending school for months. Even after providing the principal with evidence of her bullying, no action was taken. This lack of accountability has left my daughter feeling devalued and unheard.
