(1 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - That's true. Both principals seemed extremely rude when my son went there. I had to take him out of that school and home school him because they (his teacher and principals) picked on him so much. His teacher was horrible and tried to tell me that my child failed after one bad 9-weeks. She tried to tell me that I had to put him on medication!
