My son had Adhd and odd which Connie was aware and assured me they could help him because they offered smaller classes than the public school. Asked for a 504 plan due to ADHD and behavior back September and here it is November and 4 visits am getting the runaround. They principal even got mad and called the police on have me escorted out the building because he couldn't answer my questions. I'm so glad I videotaped the meeting. If anyone has had or is having problems find me on face book. We need to stop these people from preying on our children.

Great school, its a new school so there have been some challenges, but they are going 4 years strong and they are honestly just getting better and better. My children are happy, and administration is really cracking down on performance and academics. Sports are new addition, pretty cool.

Staff and teachers are nice so nothing personal. But my son will not go to that school next year. VERY DISORGANIZED
