They do wonderful things with the children. Staff is kind and patient. My nephew is autistic and because of them he now says words and sometimes makes eye contact.

I love the school because it is giving the children education and the proper attention these children need that they may not/will not get in other schools.

Great school with teachers who truly care and understand that it's all about the kids.

Kids with special needs are largely ignored in our educational system. In a system strapped for cash they do a good job.

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.
