(1 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - As a former graduate of this school, I have to say this school is awful. I went to this school from third grade to eighth and throughout my entire time there, I was treated as though I was a complete idiot. Unless you were one of the teachers favorites, you were brushed aside. Also the teachers didn't seem to notice or care when the other students bullied another. In short, if I had my way this school would be shut down.
