This school may have a low rating as for 2nd to 6th grades, but as for their special help program, the program my son is in as of now.. It is one of the better ones I've seen. He has gotten more help he could ever get than in a private school. None of the closer schools have special help or pre-K programs due to budget cuts, and the ones who do are too far.
