My son when to this school and was Bullied by his own teacher and then had the nerve to get me out of work to discuss my son behavior he laughs to much his happy all the time he mixes his milk with mustard when he was playing with it he reads at a kindergarten level all not true we moved went to a new school and its been great ever since! The teachers at his new school really care and love the students! This one only cares about there paychecks and as a mother i am shocked on how teachers and hire ups handle things! Fall River School System should look into this school. One star because I cant do zero!!!

this school has the potential to do amazing things with these children. They are for the most part eager to lean new things .
