I can see that the reviews are over 14 years old! This is by far the worst school my son has ever attended. He was nonstop bullied, So badly that he actually got a concussion and the school still has no answers for it and he still suffers to this day in sixth grade for it. My son is under the spectrum To top it off, they gave us no help. Absolutely none.. The principal refused to let me talk to anybody in the classroom teachers, anyone about what happened with my child when he had his head slammed on the pavement and threw up on himself. Keep your kids away from school. The principal is to blame.
