Milestones Community School of Lake County, Inc.
My son was sent out in November of his first grade year and forced to complete the end of the school year at home, because the teachers claimed they were scared of him. If that was the case, instead of robbing my son of his education they should have expelled him, so I could put him somewhere else. It's the greatest example of teachers who are lazy and worthless, we're paying these people to teach our kids and they can't even perform a basic function! Go figure!

Jennifer Murphy: Our experience has been positive. My children are performing very well at this school, in no small part due to the caring and guidance provided by the staff and teachers. Parental involvement is encouraged and accepted with open arms. My children have benefited from the smaller class size as well.
