(1 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - horrible school. i went there for two years. i hated it so much. note that you have literally no social life. For Middle school, they FORCED you to sign a contract that they pretty much wrote for you. and in that contract you had to put that you won't talk, hug, text even in between classes. They should close down. I learned nothing. and the teachers, most of them are haters. they called me stupid. also, they measure skirts lengths. and force you to change into a skirt that goes down to you feet.
