In my opinion some of the teachers are very very rude . My bestfriend was having a mental breakdown in the hallway and a teacher came through and yelled at us both to get to class whist he was sobbing into his knees . Luckily I got him help , but she insisted on us leaving the hallway and going to class instead of getting him help.

They are kind and caring and show a genuine interest in all students achieving and becoming productive citizens.
