"Good Experience, Room for Improvement"

We've had a good experience at Kennel Lane School, but we feel that the school could benefit from more extracurricular activities and opportunities for older students. The staff are supportive, and our child is making progress, but we're not sure if the school is the right fit for our child's long-term goals.
