Having had 2 children at this school I can honestly say, it was tolerable for my typical child whom was in 4th grade when we left but for special needs children I cant warn you enough about this school. We moved into this small town when my son whom is on the spectrum was in preschool. I had to fight tooth and nail to even get them to accommodate him in there preschool program, even though they had a special needs program and room available for him. The preschool teacher whom let me know there was room to accommodate him which was a great teacher was let go at the end of that year. Kindergarten he started out in a class of about 30 students, packed room. They have no issues agreeing to your iep request but when it goes to implementation thats where the issue comes in. Our son came home more than once beat red in the face because the mornings were cool and it warmed up throughout the day and we put a light jacket on him and no one helped him to remove it throughout the day, they tried to force our left handed child to write right handed for there convenience and the final straw came when I was getting him dressed in jeans one morning and he began to panic and cry saying "I cant go pee pee in those pants" alerting me to the fact that he had spent entire days at school with no way to go to the restroom since he couldn't undo zippers or buttons and no one was helping him with this, even though it was clearly marked on his iep for assistance. When I called the school to speak with his teacher about this she didnt know whom was over his iep anymore since the teacher whom was over it had been let go and upon calling the state board of education there only suggestion was to request a facilitated iep which would not have helped in the least since his IEP was good,the school not following it was the issue. We knew our son needed the peer interaction but sadly had to pull him to home schooling as it was too late in the year to open enroll in a neighboring district. thankfully we moved a few months later out of this horrid school system. So watch out for your kiddos should they have an IEP, they are not always followed here. Our little boy whom once loved school would cry and fight us every morning in resistance of going. It has taken us nearly 2 years now in an AMAZING school system to reverse this reaction.
