If I could leave zero stars I would. My child was held prisoner at this school and has suffered irreparable harm from the negligence of the staff, who were constantly in non compliance of federal and state disability laws. The absolute worst choice of schools for autistic young people: they are literally punished and denied privileges for autistic behaviors they cannot control. Not the place for ND kiddos, it’s a trauma factory. No transparency, they will refuse a classroom observation to hide the mistreatment of autistic students.

I moved here from a different state not knowing anyone and this school was very welcoming teachers and staff are very nice. Also the teachers are very good at explaining things into a deeper depth if you need it. Way better then my old school.

Most of the teachers my daughter has are good. There's probably like 2 bad apples in the bunch. One is for a core subject. He does the bare minimum, he literally asked my daughter if it was the teachers job to send practice problems home because she asked for them. Its bad enough that he doesn't thoroughly go over tests after they've been handed back. How're students supposed to know what they did wrong when you only give them the correct answer? Some people only teach because they figure it's easy to do when working at a public school. It's a pity because the principal and majority of the staff seem to want to do their job and teach the kids. They need to let go of the bad apples. Also there's a lot of bullying in the school, the parents seem to encourage it. It's all just a shame.
