If I could negative stars, I would! This “school” is a joke! They have segregated all the special needs and at risk students and dumped them here! My child is not receiving an education! He has not made one improvement in 3 years! There is NO team in the IEP, it is them against you! Student services will not help! DON’T send your child here, it is the biggest mistake I ever made!
