This is my son's second year at Bailey. It's a great school. He has excelled in ways he didn't think he could. He is given challenging work and the homework load isn't overly onerous.

If your kid is on IEP plan, forget about this school. The principal and the teachers will NOT support your kid in school. Very bad experience.
You will only hear what your kid can not do. End of story - no support, no motivation coming from the teachers, nothing, wont even respect what is on IEP. Worst school to date in my experience.
