As a former student, I will say that my experience there had a lasting impact. The school allows outside school counselors to chat with students on campus, their class for 504 Dyslexia Readiness is very helpful and teaches students cursive as well as how to use their Dyslexia to aid their educational journey. Furthermore, the staff members are very friendly, as long as you behave and get your work done.
