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.

School is a joke! Principal is clueless and very in over her head. Superintendent is just as bad. Kids run wild vaping in class, fights bullying. No working water. Just crazy this schools even open.
