its a fine school but they do not handle bullying in a good manor because bullys get a slap on the wrist i think they can deal with that better

Helpful in administration and the school atmosphere is pleasant, and cordial. Education and respect, team work and an open channel to diversity and focus in autism.

Great teachers, great kids, great education, great neighborhood, and Especially the teachers are always about the kids!!! Mrs Coyle and Mr Binder are Super together and never be torn apart as a team working together to better these children!! The work and strive to make changes in our kids and it shows!! Don't fix something that isn't broke!!! From my son's first year until now he has been an amazing child and students and I give all the credit to his teachers throughout the years!! They contact u immediately when they see a struggle to turn it around right away... If changes needed to be made then make them to the correct people but I can assure u it won't be the teachers who needs to change!!

The school, the staff and teachers are fabulous. The only issue is with the principal ( Mrs. Endy-Okane). She plays favorites with certain teachers and does not allow teachers to be themselves in the school. I have never seen a school have so many teachers shifted and moved around. I looked forward to my child having a certain teacher when graduating to the next grade, but this teacher was moved to a totally different grade level. This was done with many teachers over the last two years. I am very displeased with the way she keeps disrupting a system that was working very well. I am sure that many parents look forward to the opportunity of thier children getting certain teachers as the child progresses through the school. This principal, so far, has not shown any concern to the parents, students or teachers needs. It appears all she cares about is making sure that the numbers are good. I can't wait to see PSSA scores since she has taken over the school. The previous principal (Mr. Connors) kept everyone informed about the scores, so far not a peep from this one. Hopefully this school year will show that a new principal is in order.
