This school is a living dumpster. It stinks, there are bugs, and overall just looks trashy. I don't understand how you can let your school get to this point. As my child was attending this school she would come home with frequent complaints about the teachers, students and the cleanliness of the school. There are built holes in the wall and mold. This school is a biohazard

This was overall a horrible student experience, I saw a number of terrible qualities. The main one is the school's cleanliness, you can often find bugs and roaches in the school's rooms, and every other day of the week somebody would be yelling about it. This student experience was also terrible because of the interactions with other students, constant bullying happens within the school walls and I will never consider submitting my child into this school. It is disgusting, unsafe, and overall a horrible experience. WOULD NOT RECCOMEND!
