School Reviews

2   8/20/2012
This school is great for kids without special needs, but if your child has a special need, medical condition, or a disorder your child will be ignored. Problems with your child getting help in the classroom, acceptence by peers, bullying, or meeting academic needs will go on. You have to fight this school for everything. They will outright ignore a Doctors order for the needs of the child. With the increase of special needs children they are behind the times in training and inclusion.
