(4 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - my daughter transferred from jenny lind school (n. mpls) to waite park last school year and transitioned exceptionally well. she and myself and dad are so happy we switched her. it is such a 'homey' feeling school, all staff are wonderful. as a parent you are allowed to be as involved as you want to be....there isn't that feeling of 'lock-up' or 'institution'....you are actually allowed to visit your child during the day if you so wish. the only bad part is, there is no transportation for her to & from school....i am responsible for getting her there & home. otherwise fantastic school.....love it!!
