My son has had so. Behavioral problems and the staff have all come together to help him learn the skills to manage his emotions better.

This school is disorganized & low performing. The staff is rude and uncaring. The teachers are well...their efforts show on the students. All they seem to do best is yell at the poor kids. My next door family's 5 year old son refused to go to school on his 2nd week of Kindergarten after his teacher screamed and yelled at him. My other neighbor' s five year old daughter busted her head open on the playground, and no one knew about it! not the teacher, not the helpers outside that are supposed to be watching the kids...another student pointed out the child's bleeding head after the kids were already back in class. She had to have stitches and missed 2 days of school. If that isn't lack of child caring and supervision...I don't know what is. My son (who attends Kindergarten) was Kindergarten ready at 4, and on a first grade reading level at 5, after attending this school..he's going backwards. He's not challenged, he's bored, he's not moving forward. Academically, i think they focus on kids that are performing poorly, in all areas, and they do have a lot! But there's absolutely nothing that they do to challenge kids that are exceeding...and that's why this school is gets an From me.
