Premier Charter High School
Can't say: I don't recommend this school at all. I've seen a lot of negative things being said from the staff. My child ask for help, and wasn't given it. The staff has anger issues and when trying to speak with the staff, I was yelled at. The school's rating is low as the student's don't get the education they deserve. When student do wrong, they get suspended out of school instead of in school where they can still learn and do their work.
