Worst district! They will not get your child ready for high school. Their Special Education program should be illegal. The children on an iep will not get the support they actually need. Please do your research before you hand of your children here.

This school is just terrible, I graduated in 21’ and apparently it’s still terrible. When I was there they didn’t follow my IEP, the teachers sucked and I got in trouble once for accidentally flat-tiring some kid. Worst school ever.
