(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - People who say this school is the worst school or disregard the entire school for their dislike for one teacher show a complete lack of class. I attended this school as did my two brothers and my niece and nephew. All of us our successful people. I may have had my own issues with an instructor here or a principle there, but for the most part this is an excellent public school.
