We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

By far the worst elementary school, they do not help with children with special needs. They also allow bullying and they do absolutely nothing about it. Sick of this school. If I wasn’t forced to send my kids here by law my kids wouldn’t even be attending school.
