This reporting seems so inaccurate! Teachers are exceptionally high quality and care about their students. Overall environment is very supportive and there is a strong sense of community.

Está escuela te ayuda mucho a mi experiencia los maestros te ayudan mucho en las tareas también te ayudan si sufres de bullying el director es muy bueno lo único que tiene que cambiar es el menú de la escuela. La comida siempre se repite una y otra vez. Además de eso yo recomendaría está escuela.
