I've had kids go there with the old principal and with the new principal. The new principal by far is wonderful. She interacts with all of the kids. It being such a small school makes it possible for all staff to know all kids in all grades not just who's in their class. I think the school is doing fantastic things especially for the kids who don't do well in big group settings. I did have some concern with the fifth grade teacher a couple of years ago. She didn't seem to address conflicts accurately between students and her class. My daughter told me that this teacher would tell students that they had body odor. My special needs son loves it there and is always happy and excited to go. As far as the special needs program my opinion isn't based on the school individually because those staff members go to all of the schools. But the whole process of evaluating and getting these extra services for these kids that need it is too lengthy. Also the the process and evaluating for the gifted program seems too particular. My oldest tested two times but didn't qualify because his maturity level was low even though he tested amazing in the academic parts. I assumed that the gifted program was for gifted children not well-behaved mature children. I feel like my son didn't benefit to everything that should have been offered to him based on his comprehension in the subjects I'm those grade levels.
