My son is currently a second grader attending Atwater Avenue Elementary School. He has an IEP and receives support services. His academic performance has sky-rocketed since he was enrolled in this school at the beginning of first grade. His teacher and principal, as well as others that I coordinate with there often, are beyond helpful and really care for my son.
