My son just starting attending this school in September and from the time he started I notice a positive change in him for example he had trouble staying focus in class but now he is raising his hand to answer questions and more alert.

This is a great school for students with disabilities. My son has been there for about three years now. The teachers are caring and understanding. The principal is very involved with the students and teachers. The President of the PTA is also involved with the school. At the end of their high school year, they teach the students what the outside world will be waiting for them. They take them out to the neighborhoods to explore their surroundings and other great things they do there. My son had a job working in the school cafeteria, he enjoyed it so much, he wants to work in the cafeteria again this year. He has learned to be independent and he was in the student council.

About these ratings

The Community Rating is the school’s average rating from its community members (e.g., parents, students, and school staff). The highest possible rating is five stars; the lowest is one star.

Oops! We currently do not have any test score information for this school. Public and charter school test scores for most states come from the state Department of Education. The most common reasons we might not have this data are either that not enough students took the test or that the school was recently opened, and its scores have not yet been reported.
