- Reviewed by a Student on October 16, 2007 (Rating: 1 / 5) Report As Inappropriate
- Sometimes this school's teachers can be very mean to kids that they don't like if a kid forgets to do their homework only two times then they have to call home and say things so i would not recomend for kids to go to this school
