The school is substandard and does not live up to its claims. It has terrible facilities (no senior school library, no community hall space, under-equipped science laboratories, cramped classrooms, multiple temporary classroom spaces), it retains teachers who are clearly not doing a good job and receiving multiple parental complaints and it has admitted too many students for the building infrastructure.
