(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - I don't understand how anyone can say this is a good school. I have had multiple arguments with the principal and all the a.p's. Southern thinks they are they're own country with their own laws. I know my daughter's not perfect. I know she does have a mouth on her, but the complete disrespect I have gotten from the employees at this school is ridiculous.
