They let their students get bullied and not do anything about it. Always say their cameras are down. When a threat is made on a student they won't do anything until you write a report is made by the parent to do their investigation. Be careful if your child goes here or if you plan to.

I feel like the staff is really on top of things this year and will show great improvement with our children. Each of them care about our children and have their best interes...
