I have heard from several parents that this school does not allow students with disabilities to attend. I have called several times and left messages (not saying that my child has special needs and have not gotten a call back). so I have not even had a chance to be 'rejected' as I've heard they do. Not sure why they do this since they're a charter school and by law have to take these kids-but so far I know of no one in the community that has a special needs child here.
