Following IEP's and kids with 504 plans they don't accommodate well. Also, the bullying and discipline is not great. My kids all 3 got beat up more than I can count. Glasses broken and I had to pay out of pocket on all 3. We are on the 3rd principal in 3 years. Something needs done.

My one child who attended there they were unable to help him, but did help us get him into a school that could help him by getting him into a small classroom and helped us get him the proper transportation for his IEP my daughter still goes there and loves it there.

I am pretty happy with Garfield, but they are not suitable for children with special needs or IEP's. I am not very impressed with their disciplinary actions. And it's very difficult to get them to start testing on my child for special areas. They are very motivating and positive though.
