School Reviews
2   9/29/2006
I recently pulled my child out of this school as a parent I felt that the school was an unsafe learning environment As a parent of a gifted child I advise all parents to look at this before placing their child in this. Because if your child is smart he or she will be picked on by the animals in the school.
