Well I have two children with disabilities that go to this school one is considered legally blind even though he still can see some and the other has moderate hearing loss and have to wear hearing aids they're both diagnosed with ADHD and with other learning disabilities because of their physical disabilities my youngest has been in pre-k there for 2 years and basically home school mostly for kindergarten my oldest boy has been there from first grade to 5th grade and supposed to go to 6th grade this year but he is not because they are way behind their grade level they have both been on IEP's the whole time they have been in school there reports coming from the school report them doing way better than they are I have had them tested and evaluated at Advanced psychotherapeutics because I could tell when I had to start homeschooling that they were way below the grade level the school claims they are so the school does not do anything they are supposed to for helping special-needs children I am trying to find other routes of Education or other schools to no avail
