What people are saying

by a parent
Thursday, November 21, 2019

This school is designed to put any child thats having a difficult time on any subject on medicine or in special ed. The teachers think they're doctors and is quick to diagnose your child with a Adhd. This Teacher told me my child was 100 ADHD. When I asked her who was the doctor who diagnosed him. She said she was. But doesn't have any medical background. And it's no black teachers at this school what so ever. I'm sure they only hire white teachers. I can't wait to find my child another school. Close Quote
