School Reviews
1 5/29/2021
This is the worst school and district you could ever choose for your child. They only believe in educating the over-achievers. If your child has any type of learning disorder, they will spend thousands of dollars on attorneys so they don't have to educate him/her. I filed a state complaint against this school and won. However, they still played tricks and games to make sure they didn't have to educate my child. I ended up getting an additional education for my child outside of school and my child is attending college despite their efforts to keep him literate. Run fast! There are much better schools than any in this district. The administration for this school is dishonest and has a superiority complex. Their Special Services professionals have been paid well to give false information and opinion.
