School Reviews

If you're a parent with a special needs child, then this school is not for you. The child study team will not help your child, instead, they belittle you and your child and made you feel that it's your child's fault. They are only interested to receive the money the district is getting from the government funding. They will look like they are on your side but in reality, they have hidden agenda that will only benefit them. Think twice before sending your child to this school district.
