My son is in the Autistic Program and I think this is an excellent school. They taught my son how to use a computer. His speach therapist is great, she has a technique that she uses to help him sound out words that I think is awesome. It motivates him to want to speak. He has been trying to mimic mostly all the words that my husband and I are saying. I'm proud of him and especially grateful to all of his teachers and therapist. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Ms Joseph, the gifted program first grade teacher is amazing. just the right amount of toughness (which we all know is vital). the key is she really gets into the material which inspires the kids to do the same. she is running a 1st grade show that is closer to the level of 3rd grade and my son is loving it.
This school has a gifted program, regular program and a program for disabled students all in the same building. The building is modern and air conditioned. The gifted program can be demanind in its work load at times. There is no GYM. Children are given a 'movement' class in a 'multi-purpose'room. But I am dissapointed to find that many times they don't get any movement, only are sat down to watch videos. The school lunch leaves much to be desired. Some of the staff can be very caring and available to help. The current Parent Coordinator, Ronald Hartridge, is a breath of fresh air- his door is always open to help. This school also has a family night periodically where parents and students can come to play games together. The principal, Mary Ann Milano is caring and friendly.
I think this is the best school in the world. I just graduated in the Gifted Program. I think everyone who attend this school will be challenged academically and physicaly. The reason they have these workshops is so that if you have a second child coming up it will be much easier for him/her to get in.
