"This school is run very unprofessionally. They require their teachers (most of them uncertified teachers) to never report on their student profiles any negative happenings with the students they serve. They do no training or give history to their new hires and are told “just figure it out.” They do not allow their teachers to read the IIP’s of the students they serve which is against Special Law. There is something fishy is going on in this school."

"As someone who struggled with public school I was lucky enough to find such supportive teachers when I did. I wholeheartedly recommend this school for it’s great teaching staff, and it’s head administrator Sonia."

"I title this review BAIT & SWITCH. You will be sold a bill of goods that sounds to good to be true and is. It is an unstable learning environment with a disorganized incompetent administration that experiences many changes in staff. (This does not include the teachers, they seem to care but their hands are tied as they are met with the same incompetent money hungry administration.) Changes will be made to your child's schedule, curriculum and teachers haphazardly without ANY notification to the parents or preparation of the change for your son or daughter. You will be told one thing, than without warning that will change. Any expression of concerns to Dr. Jude on your part will be met with flippant passive aggressiveness, rudeness and complete dismissal and disregard of your concerns. Also, invoice we received was wrong 3 times!!! I had to send over a spreadsheet to Sonia I put together so the correct amount could be charged to us. Of course the first 3 were more than we should have been charged. We requested records and have not received them. We were told we could not get an official transcript from them sent to us, they would only send it to the next school we placed him in. They were holding my son's records hostage until we returned textbooks that were accidentally taken when we collected his belongings. The books were returned immediately the next morning. Still no records. If you are looking for a stable learning environment where your child's need will be met, keep looking as this is not the place."

"Lacks knowledge and supports in special education law.Lacks communication as well as failure to produce data, measurements on progress and goals .That is a requirement under IDEA2014. SEVERELY incompetent. Lead you to believe this is the best place.When truly it is not. Then try to "back paddle" ...too late.I post this review to state the truth of what we have unfortunately experienced. KNOW YOUR CHILDS RIGHTS and The laws that protect them.Make the "school" accountable."
