I had an awful experience at this school in the treatment of my child and myself. I wasn't allowed to make informed decisions- the staff was very eager to remove my child and place him in a regional program- where we would be stuck. As a result, he hasn't improved very much academically nor behaviorally, and it has just caused more problems for me.
