the teachers are incredibly rude, especially the principal and secretary. they have zero compassion for students, complete lack of sympathy in the way they treat the students attending. the way the secretary treats students and parents is beyond disrespectful, and it shows the schools true character. along with the terrible service and attitude of the staff, the schools staff is extremely undereducated. the staff teaches students absolutely nothing, and inclusiveness is never a given at this school. zero diversity in students and teachers, and teachers just bat an eye when students become racist, homophobic, or sexist. teachers constantly share their personal opinion, and say religious things, and never even teach anything. the school is also incredibly cheap, and things from the 1980s still exist there and are used frequently. very poor and run down. a terrible school all around.

Take the easy route, allow special needs kids to be bullied. Take word of clique of bullies even with lack of adult witness.

There are a lot of fights and adults don't seem to have control over the behavior of the students. It makes for a dangerous mix when you have students who are already vulnerable to teasing because they are receiving special education services, teachers who can't control students, and students who freely engage in violence
