Administration, Central Administration, and faculty have all changed dramatically since 2021, and under current leadership in the school and with the board and superintendent, things have improved over the past few years. Please consider meeting with them all before deciding this is such a horrible place in the current time. Also, the information about school leadership on this site is incorrect.

It is very difficult to get a call back from the principal and there is absolutely no follow-up to parental concerns!

This school could be well on its way to creating a better environment for students with more challenging disabilities to assist them in remaining in a least restrictive environment setting.

All three of my children went here and I'm so sorry they did. The administration cares more about getting their families and friends jobs at the school than about the kids. The motto here is: this would be a great place to work if not for all these kids! They blame everything on the kids and their parents and they shun parental involvement. If schools cannot make a difference in a child's life, then why are my school taxes so high? Don't send your children here if you can help it.
