My daughter is at the school on Imperial hwy and Van Ness, She and the rest of the school receives COLD food that should be hot for breakfast and lunch daily! Shes also being bullied but a male student and the the school refuses to make the parent come for a conference. I called the police and the principle lied to the police stating she never heard of this before, even tho I came in person and talked to the teacher and herself. I dont like this school.!!!
