(4 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - Most of the teachers are kind but some don't really know how to filter their thoughts. The teachers that are nice tend to help the quiet and hard working students. The principal is extremely kind and the other workers really care about the students. The students tend to be loud and extremely cruel to other more subdued students but if your child is really social he will love this school!
