I have a son who has defeated every odds to include diagnosis of autism, 3 brain surgeries, and several others. He had never been in unmilitary base school setting scared to death for him I decided to try a special autism private school that was horrible he came home and told me mom I'm teaching the class, kids are licking the windows and I just want to go to a regular school. I decided to investigate Mowat and sit down and talk to a counselor about my child situations and if there was anything that they would suggest? The counselor decided to test my son who was midway through 7th grade to see where he was level wise he placed on an 11th grade level which was beyond our wildest dreams being told at the age of 3 he would be a vegetable and not walk or talk but overcame all that, he was placed in all AP classes without anyone knowing anything about any of his medical except nurse, asst principle and his guidance counselor. Best thing we did for our son EVER it gave him a fresh start, challenged him, & just entered High School at Mosley smoothest transition they allowed him to shadow a junior for the end of the last week of school for 8th grade. I could never imagine my son being Mr popular homecoming is next week ????for homecoming court! Thank you Ms Wicker at Mowat and Mr Bullock at Mosley now I know when he gets an A it's not a pitty grade he earned it!!!!

  • Recommendations: Mosley!!! Stay away from North Bay Haven Charter Academy High my daughter went there for a year worst ever she is now at Mosley with her brother and loves it
