(1 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - I am very disappointed with the school. It has really come way down since the hurricane. I wish Mr. Hill would come back and be Principal again. He did a much better job. I f your child had a problem he would make sure that the problem was fixed. Mr. Kirkland doesn't impress me at all.
