The teacher my older child has seems to truly care about her students and their differences. My younger child that attends has made so much process in the SPED program! Im so glad we took are children here. The principal was responsive when we were preparing to transition our children. I would definitely recommend this school to anyone!

The teachers are attentive and my daughters are happy. What more could a parent ask for? Great school.

Loved the school, loved kindergarten teacher mrs. Kracke. She is amazing. I recommend NOT putting your child in second grade. Mrs. Maresh is rude and difficult to work with. Cannot believe she works with children! Very disorganized classroom. Not happy with my child's education there. We have changed schools due to moving and this teacher was the worst we ever had!

Mr.Wheeler made a enormous difference in our other health impaired student. Request him if you live in the valley. The principal is very supportive and many of the teachers are outstanding! Go Falcons!
