Foulks Ranch Elementary School

I have a son in Special ed. at this school for autism. The school has fully included kids which was new to us. It took awhile to get him where he needed to be in the school but since then it has been great. Even when we came across a teacher that wasn't the right fit for him the school worked with us and provided his aide. Very parent involved school as well.
