GreatSchools Rating
Parent Rating Average
This is the worst school ever. The teachers talk to the kids like they are nothing. They bully the kids and verbally Abuse them. The principal does nothing about it. I have called the school board and nothing still hasn’t been done. My kids got 3 more months. They will never return here I ask for a transfer the school board keep giving me the run around about it.
