School Reviews
2 10/10/2025
This school is insufficient. The education system lacks what it essentially needs, good educators. The teachers care more about feeling superior rather than the education of the students. There is no good electives or courses outside of regular classes. The books are torn apart, and the people are rude & biased. I don't recommend.
