Pretty Small School with a Very Engaged Staff (Teachers and Administrators). Very Aware of (most) Student Issues and Matters. No Bullying Allowed- PERIOD. Very Little "Teasing" is tolerated. Focus is on Creating a Really Strong Learning Environment and efforts are made to Reduce or Diminish the Social "Issues" that would distract from the Learning Environment.

He is both highly gifted in terms of IQ and has ADHD. The Catholic school struggled to meet the needs of “twic...
