Posted June 7, 2009

That school focuses more on uniform than education.Some of the teachers are very unorganized and messy. The students love to fight. The principal is very unorganized and she thinks she knows everything.The extracurricullar activities are poor.They let join sports and the students' grades are p-oor. That was one of the worst schools I've ever attended.
