- Reviewed by a Parent/Guardian on October 23, 2008 (Rating: 5 / 5) Report As Inappropriate
- I am concerned that my son is the only white child in more than one of his classes. He has 2 international teachers that speaks limited English, My son hates going to school every day. I am tired of hearing abouthe fights and gangs in the school. I would like to hear more about the learning process going on. My son is an average student and gets along with everyone but unfortunately school high school has been a let down due to the make up of the school.
