We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

the school is good when it wants to be. The principles are nice most of the time. some teachers are rude, bathrooms are locked during certain times, bathrooms are assigned to grades, a lot of weird people who walk around and bark, they wear collars, people at the attendance office are rude sometimes, teachers shut the doors in people faces, the food is cold sometimes, academics aren't the greatest, people don't always try, kids in classes think they can do whatever they want.

Most of the teachers in this school are nice as people, but I don't think some of them are a good fit as teacher material. The bullying problem in this school has not gotten better at all, as I've seen a friend get picked on by an entire class of about 100 students, then get written up for not being...
