School Reviews

Although the great schools rating for this school wasn't the highest, I am very impressed with it. My son has some challenges in school that have not been managed well at previous schools causing my son's academic progress to suffer. Since coming to this school we have had none of the issues we had previously experienced. The administrative staff are amazing and do everything possible to help and communicate with parents. I would absolutely recommend this school to everyone!
