The principal Don Kotnik is not very good. That's why this school scores so low! He likes his teachers to only sit behind a laptop only showing slides! No hands-on, no creativity, no other form of teaching! His teachers also don't always treat the students with respect.

It's only been a couple months and I've already met so many new friends....
