Horrible school. No homework. Teachers do not care as well as the top officials namely the principal who seems to encourage bullying as opposed to stopping it. My daughter was being threatened by other students and he said he talked to the other students and they said that it was not true so he has no reason to not believe that they meant what they said. Tried talking to the principal as well and he was just dismissing everything my daughter was saying although there is a history of the recurring bullying.

When I was there, bullying was happening and nothing was done to deal with it. Can't speak for it now.
