They went above and beyond to help us out during COVID and two very different learning styles! We're thinking of going back to NOSD-WVL now that we see / know better... and we're apparently in a highly ranked district near Madison! Well, we may have to rearrange our schedules to be able to home-school with the NOSD - WVL helping us out. Close Quote
