I like the school, because teachers focus on students learning skills, even though sometimes there are teachers that yells at students like if they were little animals with no common sense, in the hallways. I had my 3 children assisting this school for 4 years, and one of the things I also liked is that the ability of the teachers to teach different languages to the students like arabic, that is very essential as it is spanish.
