This school has done wonders for my sister. She has Aspergers, CP, and 40% hearing loss in both ears. She now asks me if she can 'spend the night' instead of 'spend night' at my house. I've seen here grow so much since she started 4 years ago. I love that there are smaller class sizes with a teacher and para, and that they genuinely want to help the kids thrive.
This school's primary objective is to serve kids with ASD. Kids will many different neurological diagnosis attend this school, as well as neuro-typical children. The teachers receive minimal training in best-practices in working with this diverse population and communication from the teachers to parents is poor. The majority of students have IEPs but the school struggles with data collection and follow-through. The school has no consistent approach in working with behaviors typical of ASD children.
This school used to be wonderful! Then administration changed. It is horrible. The middle school/high school is not able to meet the needs of high functioning students. (Their charter is meant to serve high functioning autism and asperger's) It is quickly becoming a school for low functioning students.
What a great school, very responsive to my child's special needs. I would, and do recommend this school to my trends, for children on the spectrum and kids that need smaller classes.
Best school my kids have ever attended!
