The 1st. I will point out the security of my child is 100% safe! There is no doubt. The School Psychologist is amazing and on top of testing for student's who need's it i'm mom i'm on top of my kid's Education but Connie got to the testing for my special need's child before i can say my child is due for a new IEP again amazing. Teacher's communication is lacking for a better word know communication what so ever. Office staff Beth the sweetest down to Earth lady I have ever met. Then there is Vicky she will hound you till you get done what she need's you to do to ensure the safety of your child I got irritated now thinking back she was doing her job and she does it well they seem to love and want the same thing us parent's want so bravo to Irwin Academy. The School get's over all 4 star's the teacher took away the 5th star.
