While the atmosphere and curriculum of this school are fair, the child care is about the worst I have seen. The director of the child care is very young and immature and hardly needs to be working with teen moms. There is almost no parent involvement. The school does have a small class size but the daycare is borderline overcrowded. I would suggest requesting a transfer to one of the many regular public schools with daycare if your child is a teen parent.

I work there and it is a great school, we are an alternative school that deals with pregnant and teen moms.
