Avoid this school at all costs. Didn’t have a great experience at all.

The school and most importantly the staff do care. 12 hour days with low pay. Sometimes caring isn't obvious to those who write negative reviews but staff and administrators have given everything to improve and support students.

This is coming from me as a student here, I would not recommend your child going here. reason 1, I guess it's okay for the bully to get away with everything but the victim gets it all.

bad school. don't send ur kid here. the teachers do nothing about bullying and blame all mental health issues on our phones. they take no responsibility for any stress or anxiety any kid experiences. They don't respect us and don't see us as actual people with thoughts and feelings and valid trauma.
