- **1/5** — Avoid like the plague: If I could give zero stars I would. This is a horrible, disgusting, vile school. Not a place to send children. It is more like a war zone the way the teachers behave and shout at students. To this day a friend has such a bad memory of an event that took place here that I am convinced she has PTSD because of it. The teachers are bullies, abusive and unfair to say the least. Avoid at all costs *(Nov 2023)*

About half of the classrooms are in the form of these dirt-cheap classrooms that look like caravans, with an interior with about as much soul as the rest of this school. Also, there was only one lunch que… *(Mar 2023)*
