This school has extreme poor education. For those who are interested in putting their childrens care in this program * RUN *. My kid had to defend himself from fights, his peers even went after the teachers who worked there! The staff became nasty with me when my child got left back in class rooms due to age! (the next class had students 2years older then him.) Simply repulsive overall nightmare! I dont even know how this place still exists!

This "school" is made up of mostly children and young adults with autism. Autistic children need certain needs that this school does not provide. First of all the people who run the school are inept and have no clue on how to run a school and how to deal with the staff at the school. Staff at the school are lazy, uninterested in the job, and use the job as either just a payday or a way to boast their resume. Rarely you will see a staff member who is interested or concerned about their job which is a shame considering this job requires 110% of your attention. Autistic children need stability in their lives, either at home or at school, they do not take change very well as most kids don't. This is not the case at Willowglen Academy where kids as well as staff are routinely moved around for no good reason. This provides no consistency for the student which in turn effects the way they learn. The "teachers" at the school, excluding a few, do not have any learning structure in their "classrooms", it feels more like a babysitting service than a school. The pay for the employees is horrendous considering the requirements of the job meaning the employees that are good and give 110% leave for better paying jobs. I work there (not much longer) and i am telling you that i would never send my child to Willowglen Academy. Thank you.
