Excellent school, I highly recommended it to any student.

The teachers at this school simply give students textbooks and worksheets and leave the kids to their own devices. Despite the fact that teh school is advertised as being a therapeutic school for adolescents with exceptionalities - no one differentiates for different learners. The administrators are stuck on formalities of having problem solving meetings. However one actually does any problem solving. The classroom are essentially formalities. Staff spend all day in pseudo-talk-therapy engagements never teaching anyone anything. There are no safety protocols or procedures, it is completely disorganized and dysfunctional. If you are looking for a babysitter this is still not your best bet.

The teachers at this school simply give students textbooks & worksheets then leave the kids to own devices. Despite the fact that the school advertises as therapeutic school for exceptional adolescents - no one differentiates instruction. Admin. are stuck on formalities of problem solving meetings and filling out a problem solving worksheets. No one actually does any problem solving teaching compensatory strategies or self-management skills. Staff are territorial & narcissistic about students. Most prized admin. instruct staff to just keep kids busy. Classrooms are essentially formalities. Staff spend all day in pseudo-talk-therapy engagements never teaching. Teachers let kids run around and climb walks w/o safety precautions. Teachers bribe kids w ice cream. EVERYTHING is attributed to 'emotionality' to point that they don't give kids what they need. For example, student was unable to do her work for 2 days. She needed larger print for a visual impairment. Teachers asked admin to accommodate. Admin refused calling stud. emotional. Its a one method fits all policy while professing flexibility. Looking for a babysitter to talk nonsense with ur kid - still not the best bet.
