Would not recommend. They promised so many services on my kids IEP and two weeks later they had us transferred. I bought new uniforms and school supplies that I never got back. I wouldn't recommend any schools in Memphis Shelby county schools district. Horrible

"There are different things the children can play, parks, you can go downtown and the pretty lights on different cars, prowlers, you can go riding on school buses for entertainment, here music with different lights on the bus, Beal street is open. There plenty of security around the city. When it is dark keep your children close to your side and enjoy yourselves."
