The teachers were great,but over worked and often my children seemed to be doing the same work over and over which led them to become bored. my daughter was often bullied and when she finally took up for herself because the teachers never knew what was going on she got suspended, her father and i insisted on meetin with the parent of the other child, but the school could never get a hold of her,shortly after that we removed all are children from the school.
