[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a very seasoned educator, someone who works in the field of disabilities, and has been in almost every private and public school in the area serving special needs children, I would never recommend Fusion.  The teachers do not have teaching degrees, the tuition is high but teachers are paid very little and therefore, there is high turnover.  You should ask Fusion about their staff turnover rate- both in teachers and administrators as well as the number of certified teachers.  Let's face it, most teachers who have a teaching degree will teach at public schools because it is a MUCH higher salary and the health/retirement benefits are great. Fusion is VERY expensive and what it gives you is not at all worth the money.  I have seen students come out of Fusion much worse they went in.  They come out behind in academics- everyone gets A's and B's at Fusion- even if they are far below grade level.  In addition, social life is lacking.  Many children at Fusion have social/emotional needs and being in this type of environment only reinforces their issues and anxieties.  I have had clients come out of Fusion who are afraid to enter a classroom or go to college because they have been in a one-on-one environment for so long.  Please remember, this is a money-making operation.  everything at fusion costs extra- tutoring, counseling. etc.  I strongly advise you to look elsewhere.  there are many other schools that will be able to meet the needs of your child for far less.[/quote]

I looked at it over the summer based off recommendations here and this is what I observed.  We wanted a smaller environment due to covid.  It seemed good for kids who need a small environment and cannot make it at other traditional schools and you want your child to graduate.  [/quote]
