God help me, there are flights literally everywhere you turn. there is also hair in the food, which is just unsanitary and disgusting. if you're lucky some teachers will be nice though, however, others will want you to act older than you are and honestly, that's just stupid. I mean I know some kids can act younger than their age but that's their problem, but if a kid is acting their age so what? anyway, in conclusion, the school is low-key Removed but you can make some good memories.

It has gotten better as the people filter out. Will be especially great for 8th graders coming in for 2017-2018 year.

My student has done well at Giunta for the past 2 years attending. She is starting 8th grade this year and I expect the same. However, just by reading the review above, it gives a perfect example as to the children/teenagers she attends school with. My only complaint is it seems that the teachers deal with so many "problem kids" that the kids who excel seem to be pushed to the aside.
