"I would NEVER send my child to this program!! During our intake they were hounding with the same question to the point that my child was curled up and crying saying he just wanted to go home. Then this "professional " said to him if you just answered the question you can go home! Absolutely horrible never send your child there!"

"absolutely would not recommend this place at all. they did not help me of work with me at all. they don’t know what they are doing and same with the med situation too. they basically kicked me out because i wasn’t participating when i wasn’t comfortable doing that. on my last day they didn’t give me goodbye ceremony like they do to everyone who distances, they didn’t give me a goodbye book or didn’t give me my discharge papers. they also made me stay in group when my anxiety was really high because of one of the mental health workers that were there that day and told my mom that they would rather me stay in group then go home. i would also say they aren’t reliable either."

"Terrible school. Graduating this year and sure am glad i wont be dealing with it. Been going since 9th grade. Students are treated like toddlers, staff are always glued to us. We aren't even free to use the bathroom without begging staff. Certain staff who i wont name, are very condescending towards students and very irritating. Staff seem to lack commen sense in many cases and dont see the clear way to stop or prevent problems. School seems to be running out of money because they've reduced our breakfast and snack amounts. The work ive recieved in the past 3 and a half years is ridiculously easy and poses no challenge. I feel ive learned very little during my time in this school and once again im ecstatic to finally graduate."

"It did not help my child at all she came home crying every day because of the program"
