- Reviewed by Parent/Guardian on October 08, 2006
- Rating:
(1 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - I am very displeased with the overall ability of this school to teach young impressionable kids. I am a concerned mediator and feel that my son has not learned anything while being there in attendance for the last two years. He needs help in certain areas and they are taking their precious time in helping him with areas he needs improvement. I highly recommend parents to think twice when having to decide the attendance of their child or children at this school. I also would like to say that the office assistance is not satisfactory also. The principal and the staff are very mean and unprofessional. I have heard the staff scream at the students whenever they enter the office. I was not pleased and feel they need personality adjustments.
