Both my kids have cognitive disabilities, psychiatric conditions and one who struggles academically. They have been bullied by other students, by the administration, by teachers..... If your kid is not neurotypical or "normal" do not send them here. I filed a state complaint against them and won because of their mishandling of special education students and cases. Close Quote

This school is great! The teachers and staff are so nice and are willing to help you. I have made a lot of friends this year, and I've only seen 1 fight. I wish that the books weren't so old (some as old as 7 to 10 years! Newer ones are 3), and that we had more technology besides Windows computers and a projector, but the levies will fix that! I definitely recommend this school! Close Quote
