This is the worst school you could possibly send your children to the teachers are rude and uneducated the sports teams are a disgrace. The school is failing, the building is old, dirty and infested with vermin. also there is no temperature regulation so the students are worst off inside than out.Your child will learn nothing and is better off being home schooled.
