I agree with another review it's a great school and some wonderful teachers but office administrators have bad attitudes and not welcoming at all especially first day of school and throughout the year if a parent ask a question and need help we are given attitude or ignored by a few office staff mainly female office staff...Sad To Say But Not So Friendly To Us Parents!

If you have a neurotypical student, this may be a good school for your child. However, if your child needs services, has an IEP, or requires additional support, you will have to fight to get the help they need. Even when a child has an IEP, the school does not consistently follow the legal requirements regarding goals, meetings, accommodations, and the actual implementation of services.

I was genuinely excited about enrolling my son after reviewing the school’s website and conducting my own research. The information presented gave the impression that the school was well-equipped to support children with IEPs. However, my experience over the past month has been deeply disappointing.Since his enrollment, I have received repeated complaints about behaviors that are developmentally appropriate, particularly given that my son can become overstimulated at times. Rather than demonstrating patience or implementing supportive strategies, I felt consistently pressured to transfer him to another school. This situation has taken an emotional toll on both me and my child.This transition was already significant for him, as he moved into a larger school environment. Instead of being supported through that adjustment, I feel his abilities were underestimated, and there seemed to be surprise when he began to show progress. That response raises concerns about expectations and the level of support being provided.Additionally, my interactions with his occupational therapy (OT) provider were particularly concerning. The communication I received felt overly focused on complaints rather than collaboration or solution-oriented support.Based on my experience, the school may be better suited for students who do not require additional support, as I did not observe the level of patience or specialized approach necessary for children with IEPs. Overall, I believe the school’s website may be misleading in how it presents its capacity to support children with diverse needs.
