I’m really disappointed with how the school handles serious issues. Even after I directly brought up concerns about bullying, nothing meaningful was done. It feels like problems are ignored until they get worse. Students should feel safe and heard, but unfortunately, that hasn’t been my experience.

I've had really good experiences with this school. They have helped me with my autistic son. Thank you staff..
