School Reviews

This school is a mess, says they offer programs giving students an opportunity to learn and earn technical classes like welding arts etc.Never saw them in 2 1/2 years my son went there. Probably a better school if the Principal didn't tell the students they will never make anything of themselves and should just drop out and quit wasting their time. This crushed 5 boys I know of, very sad as some actually believed that, not what I want a school to teach, how to get your parents to withdraw you from school, funny thought teachers needed students to teach. I did withdraw my student.
