I love this school! The teachers here are so amazing. My daughter had been to 2 schools just for kindergarten and still wasn't at grade level going into the 1st grade. She enrolled here for 1st grade and before the year was over had been given an IEP. Her teacher worked so hard to get her all the help she could. I'm so happy to say that this past year in the 4th grade She no longer needs her IEP and is at grade level going into the 5th grade. They changed our lives and I can't thank them enough!!
