School Reviews

My child started this school last year. The principal is the most unprofessional woman I have ever encountered. The school and classrooms are dirty and they are constantly having staff turnover, with some of the teachers complaining about the principal to the students!! They do not want to educate, but want to run things as a boot camp. Would NOT recommend this school to anyone.
