Parents' Comments
Parent #1
I removed my son from this school due to many documented and unexplained injuries. He was also allowed to misbehave in an extraordinary fashion and play out of control when I was not present. He was not punished for said behavior and I was not informed until he was quite injured and I removed him at a cost of the last month's tuition (we still had one month paid in full we missed). No separation anxiety assistance. I abbreviated his schedule at my expense.
