- Hello,
What do I think about this school? Well I think this school has no respect for the students or parents. Some of the staff members there tend to be racist. They just want to get rid of students they can't handle or just don't like by sending them to satelite. The principal doesn't know what he is doing and isn't doing a good job. Recently one teacher there was making fun of my sisters weight he had stated " I bet I can shut you up my sticking a hotdog down your mouth" just because she was talking, instead of making fun of her weight he could have sent her out side. We told the principal what had happened and he did nothing about it. To me this school has no professional or respectful experience and have bad attitudes!!!
