School Reviews
2   5/11/2009
Although this school stresses the uniform code and has some extracurricular activities, the discipline for behavior is not very good. There is vulgarity and a lot of pushing and shoving in the halls. Also, I think most of the teachers don't do a good job teaching. The school is worried about uniforms rather than academics. I don't like the learning environment and wouldn't recommend this school.
