"The high amount of traffic and cars including road work and construction make it more difficult to walk dogs along city streets."

"by knowing who and what is around them at all times it works out by talking to people being friendly most of the time people are normally individualized and when meeting to go somewhere can always ask somebody to depend on them telling you exactly where to go sometimes that doesn't always work out but you know people are people I can't stress that enough sometimes it could be minor ignorance the ones who are lgbtq communities but they're mostly time friendly to the ones that are lgbtq regardless of anything thank you"

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe school is not the worst place to send my child with autism but not the best place according to my experience as a parent of a special needs child. No one on here has talked about this area at all and it needs to be addressed. I just don't agree with or like the school or school district mixed my child who is moderately on the spectrum with kids that are more severely autistic up in the same classrooms for years in a row now. My son got bit twice by another child last school year and they placed that same child that bit him a few times back in the same class with him this school year and he's in 5th grade now. I feel my son is still traumatized by this kid that bit him since he acts out whenever that kid comes around him in class or if the kid is near my son on the school bus. I just don't feel my child with autism is safe there alone at the school without his behavior technician there with him. The school really needs to get that together now. I plan to move my son to another school for next school year when he goes to 6th grade that will cater to autism where I feel I don't have to hear about bitting incidences and I know he's in a safer environment.
