It's a nice campus with some really great teachers who really care about the kids, however the unfortunate thing with this center is it poorly managed. There is clear lack of leadership and execution and follow through on what we should be getting for our money. The staff is also treated very poorly and it shows with a very high turnover rate. We actually can't wait to transfer out of here before it gets worse as it's been all downhill the last 2 years.
