(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - My son was placed in this school because of his behavorial issues. It appears to be a good school so far, although his behavior is not all sorted out yet. Mr. Baez, runs a program there, were as children can come to his room to regroup. I wish that there was more male staff there. Little boys needs strong male figures in there lives. Mr. B is very much loved by my son. I believe that my son diliberately gets into trouble just so that he can go to Mr. B's suppport room.
