(1 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - this is the worst school my children have ever attended your children will be treated fine if they have no medical promblem such as adhd or asthma or depression but once your child has been taged by them with these issues they dont even get a change to know the child no matter what happens from that moment on they are tagged as the guilty one in the situation i would not recommend this school to anyone inless your child is perfect an then of cource they may b accepted then
