ESE program at public elementary school in coconut creek (Winston: house, to buy)

[monica12]

I am planning to buy a house in Coconut Creek around Winston Park 2. I have a son with some learning disabilities and the school that he is supposed to go next school year is Winston Park elementary, Does anyone knows anything about this school? Any experience on ESE program and this school?
Should I consider other school in the area?
Thanks in advance.

You need to start with contacting the board of ed in any community you're thinking about. They will tell you the law and how it's carried out. Parents are an iffy source of data. The ones without the need complain about it, and the ones with the need can go either way.

That being said, there are some schools who follow the letter and intent of the law better than others, it can be a crap shoot depending on who works there. Having say, a math teacher that "doesn't believe in" all this "nonsense" about learning disabilities can make a kid's life a nightmare. Even when the school is wrong, sometimes the damage is done and the fight is too protracted.

I've been told the school is excellent and people can't say enough good things about it. However, the ones that I know who attend there do not use the ESE programs.
