It took me almost a year to write this, I had such mixed feelings about this school and was very angry at how my children had to depart.

As a former parent of this school as difficult as this is to admit, I wouldn’t recommend this school. I tried, I had my children there for 3 years total, my daughter for a year, my son was there for 3 years. She excelled, but he struggled so much in-spite of the teachers efforts. And unfortunately I don’t think anyone actually cared in terms of the administrations. But I will say the teachers actually made genuine efforts to support what was in their control. Except one major issue…

One thing they did was not give him was special education services, and then lied. That I will never understand. I dealt with it all, until they attempted to mandate him to summer school notifying me in June and knowing not providing him with his services. However even with that, I tried but the day the principal stooped down to my daughter’s level to tell her about herself and delivery a message that was certainly meant for me… I lost all respect for her and the efforts the school tried to make.I was approachable, there’s certain things that shouldn’t be done.

I really do believe under different leadership the school can flourish. That’s the only reason I gave 3 stars!
