This school is horrible. The principal has a very poor attitude and the facility is very outdated.

This school is very unprofessional and the principal and staff are extremely rude. Most of the teachers have terrible attitudes. They have no Auditorium or gym at all. They send the kids outside in any bad weather or make them play in the hallways.
