"My daughter attended this school academics were as okay as they could be and she personally wasn't treated badly, but it seemed like a pretty toxic environment... administrators regularly screamed at teachers in front of students and even parents (one amazing teacher dared try to do a holiday pageant with her students and was verbally abused at length by the principal - again in front of students and parents there to support their children - for her efforts... needless to say, she didn't return and I can't say I blame her). It made me worry about how staff would speak to my child, and we left."
