The students get little to no education and no help, food is overpriced and not made properly, the uniform prices are horrendous, if your getting bullied they won’t do anything to help, over all it’s just a horrible place.
Poor handling of behaviour/bullying Poor treatment of both teachers and students Bathrooms unsanitary
