(1 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - This is by far the worst school I have ever put my kids in. The teachers are good, but the Principles are SO unfair to every child that they see walk the halls. They are a bunch of jerks, who by the end of the year, just want to put money in their wallet and could care less about the people they are around. Just a bunch of ignorant people.

- worst school i have ever put my kids in. The principals are unfair unlawful untrusting and liars. They are very unorganized, unqualified, understaffed and the school is filthy. We haven't even lived here a year and are already transferring our children to another school. pathetic excuse for a school.
