Buehrle Alternative Education School

Jesslyn Sands: Its a very good school. The teachers and staff all helped me very much. They were all extremely supportive and always willing to lend a hand to students in need of tutoring or other educational or personal situations. They were all amazing and I miss them and my my peers, and my school so much.
