Discipline is loose. Instruction not a priority. Pulled my kid out of this place for more structured environment. Close Quote

They have been so helpful with wonderful teachers, and we are a pretty close group even with over 1000 kids. I have learning disabilities and the special ed department is amazing. Close Quote
