2/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school is horrible sent a well mannered teenage girl to school sophomore year by senior year she was a stranger, this school is extremely toxic for students with a good head on their shoulders there’s constant bullying online social and societal norms clearly are not taught. I could be a victim of the times but phones and TikTok’s in the classroom because the teachers are not educators they are feeling based school with public funding. Just know sending your child here you sending them to the lions den with steaks for clothes.Other Review1y ago
