I was bullied no action was taken whatsoever even after I reported several times the teachers can be really rude for no reason some even go as far as insulting and humiliating the student for their own fun. I am so happy I am going to a new school. my mental health has been in the dumps after going to this school.

This school is an absolute nightmare disorganized, disgusting, and inhumane. If you care about your kid’s well-being and mental health, stay far away. Bullying runs rampant, and I was constantly picked on and made fun of with little to no support. Only now do I have the strength to write this review...
