- Reviewed by Former Student on February 07, 2009
- Rating:
(1 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - This school is by far the worst school I have ever had the misfortune to attend. It needs to be demolished, or at least a new line of faculty is in desperate need. The principal and assistant principals were very unhelpful and don't value any of there students from my point of view. Overall I would give the school a rating of -1
