When I tell you this school has done miracle work with my 2nd grade son , I mean that!!! My son went from not being able to read or focus on reading and now he’s reading out loud and really putting his words together and it’s only been 5months … This school was the best decision I ever made for him.
I go to school personally, and I love it
very good school🥰
Love it!!
