School Reviews

My daughter was bullied out of this school in the second grade, they refused to put her on an IEP, and I received no help from them for my daughters learning issues. I fought with them for 2 years trying to get things situated and straightened out and eventually my daughter was begging to be home schooled because people were not mean to her there!
