(3 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - This school has a lot of resources and pretty good kids in my opinion. But it's under terrible administration. Discipline is not handled well and the oldest class is the terrible result of that. It's teacher retention and satisfaction is terrible. It definitely has the potential to be a great school, but certain aspects are sadly holding it back.
