We love this school. I have two currently in the school, with the third one soon to come. So far, all the teachers i have come into contact with with have been competent, caring, professional, and well rounded. Kids this age need a team effort between the teachers and parents and they embrace this approach. The classrooms have more kids in them then i would like, but the teachers share their concerns and then adapt without missing a beat. Both of my kids have liked their teachers and enjoy learning and going.

Awful! RUN don't walk away from this school.
If you have a child with a learning disability this is NOT the school for you. I tried for MONTHS to get my child services that she needed. I finally got it one week before school let out, and we were moving to a different state due to the military. I had to involve the county and state BOEs to get anything done. The administration digs in their heels and insists that they are right, leaving parents to believe them. If you have to face them for a 504/IEP I strongly suggest hiring an educational advocate or lawyer. They tell parents lies with a smile on their faces. They are not there looking out for your student with learning disabilities. Honestly they should be ashamed of themselves by calling theirselves teachers and educators.
