Horribly dissatisfied with this school. They placed my child here for their autism program stating it was a great school for my child when in reality it was not. The special ED staff are very rude, unprofessional and do not have the child’s best interest at heart. They put in my child’s IEP that they would use a weighted vest for anxiety if needed, put the IEP into effect without me signing it and was putting a weighted vest on my child over half the day at school then when asked about it stated “She enjoys it and comes in asking for it” yet my child was complaining of it when coming home due to her body being sore from carrying that weight all day. They wouldn’t communicate properly and claimed my child had horrible behaviors to the point “she needed a one on one” yet once she transferred to another school out of this district she has thrived and the new school has not once mentioned any of the said behaviors that this school had. She has also really blossomed with her speech and learning since leaving this school. She would also mention that certain paras were mean and the school would tell me my daughter would refuse to work with the paras she was stating were mean. Definitely not a school for a special needs!!
