This has been the worst school I have ever dealt with. Their Special Education department and staff is HORRIBLE. I wish I can write down every detail I had to deal with. These so called therapist and teachers DO NOT care for these children (at least for the special education department). They never disclose information that goes on in that classroom. My son has came home with marks, and cries on a daily basis that he doesn’t want to go to school. Unfortunately, my son has a speech delay that prevents him from telling me what goes on. On another note, I have reached out on several occasions to the teachers and therapists for help that I need for my son, and NO ONE has bothered to come to a solution or provide the necessary help he needs. It is very frustrating dealing with careless staff that are only there for a check. This school is SUPPOSE to be one of the top rated schools in Long Beach for their special education, but it is not close to it. Not even the school Principal takes anything into consideration, instead they criticize the child and parent. This is a very pessimistic situation, especially when you truly need the help. My son will definitely not be returning to this school. I HIGHLY DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS SCHOOL FOR ANY FUTURE SPECIAL EDUCATION STUDENTS

This school was great! I had so many amazing experiences there. The staff and community is pretty awesome. There are many fun programs, and Kids Club is pretty cool if you need to drop your kids off early, or pick them up late. I highly recommend this school! So much fun!!!
