The amount of bullying and racism in this school is absolutely disgusting. The kids are unruly, can't keep their hands to themselves, curse and uses racial slurs as if it's nothing wrong with it. When you report it the Principal downplay it as if it's harmless. The school celebrate every holiday, culture and religion but does nothing at all for black History month teaching the kids of color nothing in reference to their own kind. I hate it there and can't wait for my kids to go to another school.
