Alphonso B. Perez Special Education Center
In my history of encountering schools, Perez is by far the worst school that I have ever encountered. They have taken my children's backpacks, clothes, and other supplies that I have sent to school with my children. The pool of teachers at the school is truly hit or miss, mostly miss.
Since my children have attended this school they have had behavior issues that we have never before seen at home, and each year that they attend these behaviors get worst.
I have asked many times for other school options, but I'm just given the runaround year after year. This is not a school, it's a place that takes our hard earned tax dollars to provide themselves with salaries, not our children with a proper education.
