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.

Absolutely hate it. Only 2 teachers of mine actually taught me anything. The other teachers taught me absolutely nothing. I almost got into 3 different fights with the same girl because she was messy. The school is run down and they have no SPED program. Horrible school would not reccomend.
