School Reviews

The director of the special service is totally heartless and lie about things he promised to do but never did. Stay away from this school if your child is a special needs child. The program is a MESS since the current director of special service come onboard. He is totally not qualified for that job.

I have to say I am very disappointed with the school this year. The school just removed my daughter's Occupation Therapy without an appropriate evaluation and assessment. I couldn't believe they did that but I guess they just do whatever they want. They don't care about your child.

My child enrolled in the special education program with Wallace. The program was not bad 3 years ago but was getting worse and worse. The current director of special service is heartless about those kids and keeps reducing service. He also takes advantage of the fact that a lot of parents don't know or are not familiar with education law or the IEP process. They also retaliate parents who speak up or advocate for their children. Stay away from this school. One star is for the kids and teachers/para who work there.
