personally, i can …
personally, i can say that the school has recently gone through the grueling process of becoming COA accredited as a Residential Child care institution, which has brought a host of very crucial and much needed changes from both an organizational and operational standpoint. Dr. Roth is no longer the Director of the school, but it was during his tenure that these changes were invented and implemented. While it was not solely his Directorship that brought this about, it certainly was facilitated.

The best what? It’s …
The best what? It’s not a bad place- don’t get me wrong. But I wouldn’t rate it as the best of much of anything, actually. It might be very easy to think that from the outside- but, at least prior to Dr. Roth coming on board as director, the school had some serious problems (likely linked to Leventhal hardly ever being in the actual school building). Maybe they have fixed it- I don’t know.
