Horrible. They refused to allow my son the use of his leg braces. I provided them with a doctor note from valley children's hospital in Madera. They caused his surgery to be hindered and caused him to be placed in double leg casts for 6 weeks over summer.

The lack of support for students is beyond comprehension. The VP is the only staff member to actually have educational opinions and seems worthy of praise. The principal seems like a frustrated person that requires management of his own issues.

This school may have flaws, but is very helpful as it tries to enroll kids in not only extracurricular, but also in academic activities. The teachers try their best and influence children's mental state in a positive way for their kindness.

Br far the worst school I have had to deal with. I've been in education for 16 years, worked at numerous places, and have had kids at numerous schools. This one is not good for my kids at all.
