(Rating: 1 / 5) Report As Inappropriate 
- I'm surprised that this school sisn't get cut. The school itself tries it's best to serve and help the kids, but it's unorganized and the Administration is far behind.
The school never sent me information on who my me of the kids' teachers would be, or where they were locate. Some of the personnel are blunt and rude. Lots of eye rolling when you ask a question and they look at you as if you should know it. It wouldn't be so bad if the school and it's administration had it together, but they don't.
