This school is amazing. The staff and teachers know most if not all of the student's names at least within the grade level. The principal and VP interact with the students daily. Everyone has a positive attitude and teaches positive messages. My son has autism and is flourishing, My daughter is of above average intelligence and she is also flourishing. I cannot reccomend this school enough. Close Quote
