My doughter is attending this school and its her first year in this school and I can honestly say that I am not happy with this school due to the fact that it is too overcrowded. Thank God it's her last year in this lousy school. My doughter tells me that there some teacher that are rude to her. It's just a really bad school.

My son began attending this school this year and I can honestly say that I am not happy with this school due to the fact that it is too overcrowded. My son has 2 teachers that teach him majority of his classes and his PE locker has been broken into on a couple of occasions. I do not feel that he will be attending this school next year due to the lack of time and space this school and it's teachers have. I also do not approve of all of the fowl language these children use at this school. Very unhappy.

I dislike their grading method I think it's complicated for an average person! I've asked other parents if they understood the grading method and they seem to be totally clueless.
Whoever thought of this type of grading system must be a so called "guiness" because not a lot of people understand it. I feel isulted by the fact that im not able to understand the grading system. Please your help is needed!!!
