Hey I went here for 3 years and it was great. I don`t know what this person is talking about

The teaching staff may care about their students but the when it comes to education, if your child is not middle road, you will NOT get any services for your child or VERY LITTLE. It's been this way for years....forget about the gifted or child who needs additional help, it's like they don't exist thanks to the higher powers to be! They lie through their teeth, promising you this & that...don't believe them. Your child is better off somewhere else!
