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.

As my child attended this school, he did so much improvement that I would tilt my hat to the principal, teachers, and staffs for thanking them. My son might has special needs but he loves this school and everyone. This is a wonderful school.
