The school makes accommodations for my child who has some learning difficulties. They always contact me regarding any issues and try their best to review the behavior and correct it. Such a good school and the staff are very welcoming.

My special needs daughter gets picked on constantly and the school doesn't do anything to stop it. She hates school since attending and even in pictures from field trips she is alone with no one around her for friends. We are going to the Board of Education about it and we will most likely homeschool next year. Worst experience of my kids life at this school, and my A and B student came home at this school with a failing report card her first marking period at this school. Run as fast as you can away from this school.
