This school is the worse school in portsmouth. The Principle does nothing and the rest f administration think everything is a joke. They will attack your children then erase the video. Do no send your student here, school needs to be condemned because it also is infested with rats and roaches.

First, when teachers refer students to the assistant principal they refuse to hold children accountabl...
