In pretty lane there is a barber showing photographs of any head he had the pleasure to know and all the people that come and go stop and say hello. On the corner there is a banker with his autocar and the little children laugh at him behind his back and the banker never wears a mack in the pouring rain very strange, pretty lane is in my ears and in my eyes there beneath the blue horizon skies, I sit and wonder why.

GreatSchools Rating
Parent Rating Average
My student who is on the autism spectrum struggles greatly at this school. Her behavior has gotten worse each year and I believe it is because no one at this facility is skilled enough, or cares enough, to learn how to teach a high/mid functioning ASD child in a general education setting. She is shunned every day for her disability by the students and her lack of ability by the staff. There isn’t any support provided for the teacher’s within the classrooms and even with my child’s IEP in place, their pull team sucks and nobody upholds what is on paperwork. I have been told first hand by the principle Jason Brannen that my child needs to fail harder in order for them to care enough to provide more services , which i doubt they would do even if, and when, she will fail in the future. As a single parent who knows nothing about the school system, i wish i knew how to take her OUT OF THIS SCHOOL.

"Keep your kids in the backyard playing . There’s no sidewalks at all . Makes it very hard to go for walks . Packages being stolen from door steps all the time. Cadillac converters being stolen off cars. Not a really safe neighborhood like when we moved here 7 years ago . "

"Here in this neighborhood, there really isn't a park close to take your dog on a walk. When you do, you go through the streets walking your dog. Many families here do have dogs in their yards, so do be vigilant. "
