Administration is a joke. They turn a blind eye on everything. Safety is a big issue. Education is just a bare minimum. If you report any bullying incident, they will ignore it.

The school is good but there's a lot of hype it's not what it use to be. I'm transferring my two girls out of this school the next school year.

This school has gone downhill over the years. There are hardly any school events, surprisingly high statistics of bullying, not really any arts or sports programs, and education has been mediocre. Not sure if its the change of administration, or if its a small school so there are lack of activities,...
