School Reviews
2   5/2/2015
I'm not to happy with the way the school runs. The teachers really don't care about the students. And once they don't like a child for any little thing they will be sent the office. It's a middle school with a lot of teenagers, kids that THINK they are grown. if teachers are not able to handle and talk to these kids. Maybe they should try teaching elementary school.
