This school is terrible with bullying. The principal doesn't do anything about it. When I went up there for a 3rd time in a week, she saw me coming to walk in & she rolled her eyes. Very rude. Kids seem to be able to do pretty much what they want & get away with it. And if a student that has been being bullied finally stands up for themselves, that's when something may finally get done, except the kid that was being bullied also gets in trouble. But nothing gets done to the students bullying, prior.
