This school has the honest potential to be a great place for all walks of life. This school is very diverse in terms of where people come from, whether they're from different parts of South America or parts of the world in general. However, there seem to be issues within the school that have to do with behavioral issues and major issues in administration. I would love to see the school flourish in terms of higher staff, the teachers are quite lovely but the people they work for however are not.
