Parent Rating Average
This school targets disabled children and minimizes their experience. They harass parents who keep their kids at home when their kids are sick. They allow bullying, they allow teachers to bully children (I.e. substitute told a class of 4th graders she was going to set their belongings on fire). Do not send your kids here.They also serve post cards home when your kids are sick to guilt trip them about staying home instead of wishing your kids get better soon ..Absolutely disgraceful
