DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD TO THIS SCHOOL!If you are searching for a christian school as I was, I advise you to pass this school up!I am a ferm believer in being fair to everyone and when you do something wrong you pray about it and ask for forgiveness. This school likes to cover up the wrong doings to the children at the school.
