The experience in this school is complicated, in some aspects it is pretty decent some might say even good. Some teachers and staff really try to make the experience a good time. Those staff are friendly, kind and just make school seem like a welcoming place. But the reason I personally don't recommend this school is the overall environment and the things being said at this school. For example some teachers are plain sexist, sadistic, and down right horrible. One off them were saying that gender "A" was so much better to gender "B". And gender "B" should follow their example. But the thing is that multiple people from gender "B" were being quiet and doing their work properly. And some people in gender "A" were acting up and the teacher did not bat an eye. This and other events has made the school not a good place. (Do keep in mind that the teacher is of gender "A") Another problem is that the students are very hateful because of how they are being treated. In the school racism is common and I am no surprised that most other reviews say that is not a good place. But when you experience the school for a while you can start to realize that the hate and the racism is just to cope. To cope to the harsh treatment and to cope with the stress. Sometimes you or your child will just be waiting, waiting for class to end, and this wait is not a wait to be excited for the next class. In this moment you or your child will be waiting to be free, to be able to talk or to simply be in a short state of peace. Sometimes in this school you will feel trapped, trapped in a room with other peers, feeling you are caged while the staff are watching, while the staff are judging. So if you don't want you or your child to feel like this please, just avoid this school.
