This school is great after the turnings of the new principal.But some of the teachers misunderstood students; And some give grades depending on the student's looks or appearances. And some teachers don't care to help the students!Its either the teachers are excellent or horrible.And I wouldn't mind if the school was a little bit cleaner.(Lots of writings smudges stains on the walls..)

School is in great need of a major overhaul. Staff is quite reactionally instead positive responses. Children are not feeling safe and understood. There is a major element that is missing at this school.
