I do not recommend this school at all for special needs students.

Very nice school, incredibly well kept (at least for the most part), and has a variety of students.

I would like to comment on the inability to record the 6th grade choral concert this evening. I am a grandparent of a student at your school. I can not attend because I live out of state and since you asked that it not be recorded I was unable to see or hear my granddaughter sing. Please reconsider your decision on this so those of us that can't attend don't have to miss this event . Thank you
