We loves this school... I have 2 boys who have attended... My oldest is in AIG (academically and intellectually gifted) and the school has not let me down... His teachers are always encouraging him to challenge himself.... On the other end, my youngest son has a speech disability, a learning disability and ADHD, this school has also done amazing by him! There speech therapist is our favorite and the best that he''s had (in and out of the school system), every year all of his teachers and therapist and myself get together and do his IEP, they are always behind me in my concerns and are great with coming up with more ways to help him as well as keeping him in the classroom with his fellow students as much as possible... We couldn''t be more thankful for this school!
