We have had an excellent experience with this school. I have had three children with IEPs for speech, one of whom is autistic, and they have gotten all of the help that they have needed. The staff and teachers are very concerned with the welfare of the students, and are always willing to address parent concerns. Students still get recess, and instruction in health and physical education, art, music, and media center, which I can assure you is not always the case with public schools these days.
