School Reviews
2   1/11/2007
This school has potential due to the teaching staff. However, the administration, especially the principal, have no imagination. In nearly two years at the school the principal seems to have only created a new parking policy and installed sycophants as teachers. There is much dissatisfaction in the ranks. Also, parents are discouraged from involvment in the school. There is an air of secrecy surrounding this school. Good teachers are leaving.
