My son attended this school from 2nd grade to fifth. In second grade, a teachers helper had grab and shake my son. I wanted something done to this teacher so she won't do it to any other kid, they solution was to make false accusations about my person to ACS. Of course I was unfounded of any wrong doing but that goes to show you they rather take help away from kids that really are really getting abused than punish a teacher that put her hands on someone elses child. They don't teach science or social studies. They dont allow you to be part of the school like they claim. THEY DON'T MAKE THE STUDENTS FEEL LIKE THEY DISABILITY DON'T NEED TO BE BURDEN TO BECOME THE BEST!! Close Quote
