Overall, I think the school is headed in the right direction with teaching. My only concern is I felt the teachers aid was more qualified than the teacher. My son need special attention and the teacher seemed scared to look for ways to help as the Aid went out her way to help.

Teachers were very involved with the kids and kept me informed. Son has speech problems and school was able to provide quality speech therapy onsite. Small student to teacher ratio for more one on one help.
