Horrible school really. I got bullied in that school for 2 years. Teachers do nothing. Nobody in that school cares about their students. They are strict about EVERYTHING. Probably like once or twice a week everybody just beefing for no reason. Its drama everyday. And the teachers cuss back at the students?!? Yeah no when im older im not sending my kid here.

I have nothing bad to say about this school. I am a parent of an honor student. The school will not tollerate bullies. The teachers are very communicative to parents. I never had any problem with my son in this school. In conclusion I recommend this school for your child.
