I've had nothing but positive experiences with this school. They've accomodated all our special needs with understanding and kindness. Their communication skills are excellent and we appreciate that they focus on teaching kids what they need to know, not propaganda garbage.

If you love your child and want them in a safe environment, do NOT let them attend Wallace.
