GreatSchools Rating
Parent Rating Average
Just to start, if you have a child with special needs, this is not the school for you. My child is singled out and humiliated by his bus driver. Also they have a few teachers that will tell you that there is no such thing as a learning disability that your child is just lazy! When these issues are brought to the attention of principal or other staff, no one is reprimanded, just excuses are made.
