Great if you wanna go for dance, theater, or draw/paint. Mid at best if you're going for anything else. Academic options are pretty limited, especially in math. Culture was OK but not really my favorite.

Our child was treated like an outcast because of their disability. The school did not support them. They let our child down. As long as you are not too disabled, and meet the style of children they are looking for, you will do just fine.
