Report
It took months to get someone to respond to get my son and daughter enrolled. I was eager to get started as quickly as possible. Finally, after paying money for applications and independent testing, my daughter was turned down because of a health condition and a temporary disability that would leave her in a wheelchair for 3-6 months. Their school is NOT accessible, despite their claims. My husband and I offered to pay for any modifications that would need to be made, they did not accept our offer. Not only did they wait to deny us, in writing, but they did it AFTER I paid to apply and go through
