"Absolutely awful"
This school is the absolute worst, there is barely any help for disability and even when you do get it they completely ignore it, the school is not sanitary and the floors, walls and ceiling and usually covered in something resembling mud or mold. The students are actually quite violent and there have been stabbings in the news recently.
