  • Teachers Don’t Have Patience Or Time To Deal With Behavioral Students & Will Ask You Call Off Work N Come Sit With Your Child Instead Of Trying To Be Teacher And Find Solutions & Also Highly Convinced They Procrastinate On Children’s Actions & Also Will Not Tell You Everything Thats Going On In The School . The Teachers Here Aren’t Bad But They Also Aren’t Doing There Job Really , I Wouldn't Recommend This School To Anybody Just To Save Headaches Later With Teachers Staff & Parents
