I sent my daughter to this school hoping for the best & trying to get her ready for the real world & this thing called life . It was a waste of time , gas & money . I could have let her went to the public school she was suppose to go to. My daughter ended up in jail numerous times & getting shot . This school has no motivation, determination @ all.
