This school is fantastic. I go here currently. And love it!! The teachers are the nicest they have ever been, and based on some of the other reviews, I would disagree, bullying is not a problem at my school. Take it from a current student!!!

Bullying was a real problem here for my daughter who went there last year. The kids seem to just get lost in the sea of children shuffling from class to class.
Communicating with the staff was difficult with sub par solutions.
This in turn effected her grades.
Academics are also not well run here
