My son has high functioning autism and utilized the early intervention pre K program. Within a few months of him being in the program he made leaps and bounds in his improvement. He is now in Kindergarten and LOVES going to school. He hated going to daycare and cried daily. He cries now when he cannot go to school on Saturday/Sunday. He continues to show improvements academically and behaviorally. We could not ask for a better special education program!

This school would be a good school with a different principal and assistant principal (Perkins/Clark.) They clearly have a problem with foster/adopted children. Not sure what the issue is, but I’ve had to be very aggressive and involve a lawyer, the state board of education, a therapist and the assistant superintendent. They would rather a straight A middle schooler come to the high-school with straight A’s and start failing, rather than allow them to swap classes or provide them additional support. This school could be so much more. Administration definitely DOES NOT like parent involvement. They want to meet with the children only so that he can degrade/belittle them. They use fake “data,” to try to insult or force your child into things they can’t/don’t want to do. Please if your child goes here, be stern, determined and if necessary get everyone involved! This is the only way you’ll get answers and or see results! Now that we’ve overcome this obstacle it seems my children are improving emotionally, mentally and grade wise. The staff does not bother my children. The way my six adopted children were born, I will have a child in this school for the next 12 years and I’ll advocate for them all every year that they are there.

I have six children. Two have been through this school and have thrived. I currently have an autistic son in LMS (2024) and he is thriving. He has increased in all areas drastically. He has a ton of support from his IEP team and regular classroom instructors/teachers. I could not be happier with his success and growth. I have had to go to the school before for minor bullying issues, but they were addressed and resolved immediately. My son is safe and taken care of!

The teachers here are great. They really care about the students and do a great job communicating with the parents.
