This school has changed everything for my son. He was unsure of himself after years of falling through the cracks and not getting the help he needed. I kick myself for waiting until third grade when he didn't pass the FCAT to look for a new school. The first year, repeat third, they worked on his confidence and helped him build himself. He is now not afraid to ask questions and raise his hand. This has been a life changer for him. Thank you so much MLA!!!!
