Alternative Education School

Worst experience ever for my child! If you want your child to play baseball or knit a hat for 4 hours than this is the "school" for you. I was told this would be a great setting for my child because of his academic struggles and he would receive more one on one attention. HA! I pulled him out after a few weeks as he was learning nothing! Terrible, terrible setting for education!
