Open Quote The reading program that this school utilizes is amazing. My son transferred in during the middle of his 1st grade year, he was barely reading at an entry level kindergarten level. Now he is in 3rd grade and reading at an advanced 5th grade level. The extra attention and care he received has allowed him to blossom into a great student. Close Quote
