My child attends this school, there are very few teachers there that have a passion for teaching.the kids get belittled and verbally abused by teachers.when reported no action is taken to correct the problem.the staff in "higher" positions seem to pick and choose who they will discriminate against.WOW HOW ARE TAX DOLLARS ARE USED
