I strongly disliked it here. Got bullied here, and the lunch is terrible. Students were forced to wear their uniforms, and if they didn't get pulled out. It was bad enough with the bullying I experienced by a bunch of students. I was an honor roll student up until this school, thank god I left.

I am so thankful for BB Prep coming along when they did! They helped my son mature to a responsible young man. He just recently received an award for the highest grade in Math!

The teachers here can't acknowledge when they are incorrect. Quality of education isn't any better than that of which the other schools in the area offer. Don't send your children here unless you want them to come home everyday unhappy.

The school is not good. A student gets 3 days suspension for talking back to a teacher. They don't care as long they get a paycheck.
