(1 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - This is a terrible school where they do not watch these kids. Several times my small 10 year old was picked on and bullied and anytime he fought back, he got in trouble. I am now homeschooling him due to this. They did nothing about the harrassment after several incidents and pleading to take care of it. I only gave a 1/5 because there was not a .5 to give. Horrible school.
