What people are saying

by a parent
Tuesday, July 16, 2019

The Special Education teachers at this school just don't care. No child should be told no one cares about them or what they think! No parent should have to fight this hard to get their child the help they need!! No discipline for teachers like that either. They just say no one cares. If the teachers say it guess what, that's exactly what you get!!! Close Quote
