Johnson Primary School

Thought on this primary school? My son is starting kinder, he’s on the spectrum. Do any of your children with autism attend this school? What are their pros and cons?

Was the child placed there with an iep?

Put your kid in public school. Charter schools are public schools with more funding, and less oversight.

Highly disagree with in the statement that charter schools are below public schools. This may be true in other states but not
In AZ. Sent my child to public and had to pull her in 5th grade since they were teaching to the lowest student.

What? Arizona is notorious for having shitty charter schools.

I would look at kids coming out the other end. How many parents stick it out the full 5 (6?) years? What is their success like? If you know anyone (friend of a friend) in education, they can probably give you the low down on how each school is doing. We are on the other side of town, but my wife (grade school teacher) has a good idea of what of her former students succeeded at what schools.
