when the 5th grade education is focused on preparation for middle school, there is a problem. Close Quote

Please do not send your child if she/he is academically advanced ("gifted", etc.) but has any other type of impediment or impairment. This school will just meet their minimum requirement of insuring that your child is "average". Close Quote
