School is terrible to students with special needs. My son has ADHD. His first grade teacher yelled at him every day. She was nice and accommodating during parent/teacher conferences, but then bullied him during class. It got to where he said he didn't want to live anymore because he couldn't do anything right.

This school is horrible. Hasn't updated their school website in 2 years. Whenever you want to know about an event or calendar, they just tell you to check Facebook... I don't have a Facebook so I guess I can't be involved. No real circular activities for the kids. Low test scores, teachers are not even friendly.
