My son attended for PreK and K and the teachers and admin were not helpful at all. They only wanted him to sit down, shut up, and do his work. We moved to a different county and he has excelled in that school since day one and they have been more helpful by learning my child and his needs and getting him extra help where he needs it. I BEGGED Bonaire Primary for the extra help and they would not accommodate us. Close Quote
