The school campus is very bad and the kids are undisciplined. Kids get bullied there all the time. The school could look a little better and the education is decent. In comparison liberty is the better overall school. I know from experience because iv'e been from both.

Really great school. Has very good teachers that teach. People are saying that the teacher don't look at the kids assignment, well each teacher has 4 classes with about 23-25 children inside each class. They could easily miss an assignment. Overall, this school is really good!
