(1 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - I would not recommend this school at all! The principal and many of the teachers are very rude. They seem to be under the impression that all young children should be seen and not heard. If any child gives them problems, even minor ones, they will just try to send them to ISS or home. Some, not all, of the teachers have severe attitude problems and need to go back to college and retake child psychology. The principal is more interested in being an advocate for his staff instead of the students which should be his first priority. As if all of that wasn't bad enough, the school itself is falling to pieces.
