- Rating:
(2 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - Although the school design in open (no common hallways), the school has great security and is safe. Many of the staff members are prior students that have returned to teach. Others are parents of enrolled students. The OM program is great. The neighborhood and surrounding areas make the school very community based.
