My children have been going to cody starting mar.98. My special needs child 11 yo, has made extreame progress because of cody. They are very patient and very good with her. My 7yo has been there for 3 yrs, she is doing well and loves her teachers. They always have fun cool things to do , and they always treat my daughter well!

I have had two children go through Cody. Only one bad experience. All teachers, counselors, nurses and principals that I had the opportunity to talk to were incredibly helpful. My daughter required special education services and the school provided me with excellent feedback and she has progressed with great strides.

The administration leaves much to be desired. They placate parents, demolish the child who has health issues to where they can't be made to comply with attendance, class settings etc. The offer of assistance, came in failed words on paper,'leaving the child behind'. Contrary to popular thinking of LNCB program. This administration & staff took an 8 yr old, and forced an issue. Thus the child is now home schooled, and more content with life in general. Esp. when the parents really value the public education departments in these United States. They do not earnestly encourage parental involvement, they distroy interests. Take a really good look at the recent changes in staff. Many left due to coping problems. All is not as it seems at Cody!
