Very bad experience with this school. They do not want special ed students or any student that may have any type of learning issues. Education is about how to reach every student, but not this school. They definitely have some good teachers and some not so good, but you will have that at any school....

The teachers and staff are amazing. I love the opportunities given to the kids when they're ahead in the learning curve. M...
