Cops come nearly every weekend to step in and fight students.
6/10/2017
4/10. Students are sweet, smart, and respectful when you get past their harsh exteriors of trauma and socio-economic hardships. Students are NOT the issue. Administration is. We need to reconstitute the administrative team instead of he teachers this time.
11/20/2015
They are consistent and stand behind their students 100% for striving for excellence in their academic studies as well as their extra curriculum studies
