Lots of caring and devoted staff who celebrate each child's success. Small class sizes allow for more academic time directly from the teacher. Downside is some kids are so disruptive that it can make learning hard for the others. If your child isn't a disrespectful and disruptive one, make sure they are placed in a class with more calm students. read more

I had more freedom in the mental hospital than I did here. I wish I was joking but I am not. The staff is allowed to lay hands on you "a hold" one time my classmate had got staff called on him and he got drug out by a staff member 5x bigger than him and when he had returned he had a bloody cut on his face. Staff are negligent and dismissive and do absolutely nothing to help a situation but make it worse if you go here I beg of you not to make any friends. Just take my advice read more

I went on a tour of this school two months or so ago and I was not impressed. The woman (Jenna or Jennifer?) who toured me and my child did not appear knowledgeable or caring. When she showed us the classroom my child would go into, the classroom had been evacuated due to a student's behavior. The staff seemed helpless and the tour guide glossed over the situation. I asked questions about the academics and curriculum and how things were adjusted to meet my child's needs and she could not give me a straight answer. The tour only last 20 minutes, which seemed short and felt rushed. It almost felt like she just wanted to get through the tour instead of taking the time to make us feel welcomed and want to go to the school. I was disappointed because the school was recommended by my school district and I had high hopes that it would be a good fit for my child. There were things I liked that I saw. The recreation room was inviting and my child loved the animals. Staff were friendly and said hello in the hallways. However, I did not choose this school based on my gut instinct and experience on the tour. read more

As a family advocate, I have received multiple concerns from this school within the last 6 1/2 years from former families. It's sad to see that a lot of students have left this school due to a lack of support and safety in this school. I've heard horrible things such as, staff bruising/injuring students and slamming them while performing a "hold". This school has also been reported to neglect students of their medical needs. I've been told by families that their student could've passed away due to the ignorance and negligence of this school. According to the families, there have been incidents of abuse and violence towards their child either from another student or from a staff member. Within these last 6 1/2 years, there have been statements from families stating that there is gender-favoritism in this school. It may even hint at inappropriate teacher-student relations. According to students and families, there has been therapeutic neglect of several students. I am keeping in mind that this is a, or is supposed to be a "Therapeutic" Day School, but I would like to mention disturbing behaviors that were listed by countless students and families that put the students in harm's way. It has been reported that the staff holds favoritism for students who have very poor behaviors including: - Physically and Sexually assaulting students/people in general - Bullying Students and Staff in every way possible - Threatening students and staff - Telling students to "kill themselves" in and out of school - Incredibly disrespectful towards peers and staff - Taunting behaviors toward students and staff - Low grades and school effort - Distracting behaviors in the classroom that cause major problems for the class and the school - Regular police involvement and/or current court cases - Bringing in paraphernalia such as Lighters, knives, vapes, weed cartridges, cell phones (which are prohibited in this school), and even threatening students/staff to hurt them with it. - Threatening to shoot up the school and set it on fire FYI: None of these behaviors or words were taken seriously by school staff. The staff has threatened and presented taunting behaviors toward students saying things such as, "I'll do something to you." This is NOT appropriate behavior and conduct coming from this school. There is no telling how much emotional and physical damage has been done to these students, but there is one thing for sure, they will be healing for a very long time because of this. They now have to cope with the fact they didn't have proper education and support while they were in this school. And now, they have to live with the damage caused by this school. When will the abuse and lack of support in all schools end? Private behavioral schools should be investigated much more often because incidents like this happen to students all the time. As a parent and passionate family advocate myself, I am deeply saddened and disgusted to know that our kids in our communities are being treated so cruelly like this. It's even more hurtful to know that a lot of them could and very much still are suffering in silence to this day. This is purely unethical. It is neglect and it is Illegal. It has been reported that the staff encourages the poor behaviors of the ones who they favor. It has been reported that the students who have committed illegal acts and presented horrible behaviors were NOT disciplined in any form and the staff encourages them to keep going with their poor actions! I have received statements from families of students who were unfairly punished for things that either weren't their fault/had nothing to do with them or they had very little action in it. These students need help and it's not being given to them or it is being given In a deceitful way that just ends up hurting them. It's heartbreaking and disgusting to know that these "Professionals" are acting this way. This school gets 0/5 from not only me but from a large group of victims. This is not okay by any means. Parents, please DO NOT EVER send your children to this school. They are deceitful in their first impressions. This school will most likely end up doing more harm than good for your student (unless your child could be favored, but even then, you won't see much improvement in their behaviors because it's being supported by the staff). Please consider your options. Lucas Jensen Bolingbrook, IL read more

I wish I could give this facility 0 stars. DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD HERE! My 16 year old daughter who is on the Autism Spectrum was treated horribly at this facility (I cannot bring myself to call it a school!) She has been attending since 5th grade, then 7th - end of 10th grade (2023). Her needs, feelings and concerns were dismissed by coordinators, teachers and counselors and the owners. Her teacher for 10th grade, Stacy K and her aide Jessica have no compassion and show lack of knowledge/experience with working with students who have special needs. My daughter was bullied and harassed by teacher/staff/owners this past school year which lead up to additional and unnecessary stress on my daughter. My daughter has always been an ideal student up until Stacey came into her life. I could write a book on how miserable she and other staff made my daughter's life! My daughter couldn't take the abuse and finally chose her health over this facility and left 2 weeks shy of the end of the year. After trying to reason with all involved, which lead into a battle of standing up for my child, I supported her decision. I strongly encourage you to not use any of this facility's locations due to that even the owners do not care about the students. All they care about is their "expectations." If your child needs a therapeutic school PLEASE do your research when visiting schools. Listen to your child's needs and pay attention to what is happening at the school. We are our children's only advocate and unfortunately we have no one to advocate for us parents. I will not rest until positive change is made here! read more

Allowing our school district to send our child to this school has been the worst decision that's been made, for any of our kids (5 total). If I could give less than 1 star I would. This is a school that is presented as school for children with "challenges". Our observation is that they are the absolute last place that children with "challenges" should be sent. The faculty are unavailable and questions and issues go unresolved, or even responded to. Frequently the classes are overseen by aids who are less qualified than the faculty. We're removing our child from this joke of a school and homeschooling her. Horrible, horrible place. Stay away. read more
