Open Quote My son received an IEP while in high school. As a divorced parent I had a nightmare with my ex every time I tried to communicate or set up appointments with any school staff. The went on for years until i reached Lake Braddock. They looked at the custody and legal docs and suddenly I starting getting the info. i requested that i never was able to receive before. The school set up an entire team to rally around my son. The teachers went above and beyond. Smart kid but he has a learning disability. He went on to excel at Lake Braddock and now is in in college studying a STEM focused program. Can't say enough about the staff and teachers. So many of the teachers here have years of experience in their field before becoming a high school teacher. This school is clean, safe and most of all the teach and care about their students.
