2/14/2018

When I attended SJMS it was an absolutely horrible experience. The kids always fought, teachers didn't necessarily care and the academics weren't really important. A lot of bullying occurred in the school and the administration never really tried to stop it. The disciplinary principals didn't do their jobs very well either.
