What people are saying

by a parent
Tuesday, February 15, 2022

My daughter is currently at this school. We have had so many issues with academic's. She is not getting the proper help that she needs. She is on a IEP for OHI. I’m not pleased with someone on her team. She is struggling with academics this year and we are still not getting academics support. I do have to say another member of her team has done nothing but support her in so many different ways.

When it comes to bullying the school needs to do more! We have things put in place against another student and the school itself is not following or Disciplining the student that continues to break the rules. Close Quote
