I am a family friend. While this school is being compared to other WA public schools and rates lower, that is not a truth! If the WA public school system wouldn''t have failed these children, this program wouldn''t be necessary. 50% is an amazing success rate and I can see that it will only improve with time, unlike that of the WA public school system.
