This school is terrible, my daughter was assaulted by another student. She was there for 2 years and now in therapy and afraid of other children. I would walk through this school and really look at all of the staff here before making your decision. Go in a few times ask different staff to answer questions for you. This school needs to be cleaned out. Close Quote
