- **5/5** — A great experience for our daughter: We've been really pleased with the progress our daughter has made at Wellbrook School. The school's focus on valuing differences and nurturing growth is exactly what she needs. The staff are also very knowledgeable and supportive. The only thing we'd suggest is more opportunities for extracurricular activities. *(Jun 2021)*
- **3/5** — Mixed feelings about our experience: We had mixed feelings about our experience at Wellbrook School. On the one hand, the staff were very caring and supportive, and our daughter made some good friends. On the other hand, the school's approach to assessments and transitions could be improved. We eventually chose to move our daughter to a different school, but we appreciate the efforts that Wellbrook made to support her. *(Dec 2020)*
