The only issue I have seen which is apparently everywhere now days is that a large percentage of the studen...

This place is HORRIBLE. Administration are complete bullies and like to make student's lives worse. There is bullying everywhere but no one bats an eye, people getting called slurs, getting made fun of, and getting laughed at. And worst of all, a bunch of the teachers are on a complete power surge....

most teachers at lisha kill like to tell on there students so they get detention or get suspended so they don't have to deal with them. Like my friend was just talking to me during class and he got a couple detentions for asking to use a pencil. Like that is really ridiculous.

I personally find this school a great experience for my child. He had always had social issues and, according to what he has told me so far, I believe that this school has helped him and I can see that he's improving on his social skills.
