(1 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - Hands down one of the worst schools I have ever seen. We moved here from an excellent public school district in another town and I was extremely disappointed by this school. Violent brutal fights, cursing, an environmet where any and every thing goes. I pulled my child out after my child was physically attacked and felt so sorry that the kids we left behind are not being served.
Most teachers just waiting to get a paycheck on cell phones during instruction time. Chaos in class rooms. Desk flipping, paper spitballs flying, yelling. No discipline or order. Truly should be shut down. It angers and saddeneds me to know my tax dollars pay for this. Please be forewarned, this is no environment for any child.
