This school has gone above and beyond to help my grandson who has ADHD and ODD to succeed and given him skills to cope with his time at school. The staff is wonderful, caring, and engaging. They tailor to each individual. child's needs and creates a customized learning plan for that child so the kids can reach their full potential. They build the kids up and boost their self-esteem and truly make them feel like they all belong and are accepted. Compared to other schools I have dealt with, this school is top-notch in many ways they excel at communication, problem-solving, knowing the students and parents, a team approach to education and so much more.
