I have been very dissappointed throughout the school year with how disorganized the teacher has been, lack of communication with the parent, and these rotten kids. My son will not be attending this school next year.

My child attended this school for a semester; I pulled her out due to their curriculum being based soley on the state testing.

My children has attended this school since the first day it opened. The administratiion and staff really take time to listen to the students, and have always put the students first.

My son went to this school for two years. I never had any problems with any of the teachers or adminstrators. I would recommend this school to any parents who are having trouble with their kids with learning to send their kids here so that they can achieve their goals in life. The school is excellent and very pleasant with a learning atmosphere that regardless of your needs you will still prosper and come out with an education. Yolanda robbins
