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.

Worst school ever. Teachers are rude, students are horrible, bullying and harassment is pungent throughout the school. Everything about this school is overall terrible. It is not uncommon to be picked on by a teacher. Students are even worse. You can expect a fist fight to happen daily with no provoking necessary.
