We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Staff and administration is extremely rude. The Dean doesn't communicate. The principal is only involved when the board of education is called. I do not recommended for 7/8 graders. High schoolers are to involved.
