I have gone to this school for about 2 years and my experience has been amazing. Both the teachers and students are welcoming and kind. Most classrooms are pretty small, as that is mainly why the school is so good. Reviews say that the small classrooms make it hard to learn to the fullest, but it actually makes it better and easier as you get more attention about personal confusion. Some say that teachers are rude and give too much work, but that is a good thing as it helps you review instead of forgetting. If you don't like to work don't go here, but this school will set you up for life better than most. Mr.Lynch is only strict when he needs to be and is very kind when you are good. You do need to know a certain amount but if you do decide to come here it is a great choice!

I attended The Academy as a student for all of seventh grade and part of eighth. My experience at this school was not pleasant. Headmaster John Lynch was manipulative, abusive, and simply put a bully. On multiple occasions I was picked on and teased by John Lynch in front of the whole class, and as you can imagine this is very embarrassing for a 12 year old boy. I would not recommend sending your child here, especially with all the other amazing options for schooling you have in the area.

Also, I was here a very long time ago and the year I came was the year I left. The classrooms were very small and inappropriate for learning to the fullest.

If he really really really really really really really smart and has a lot of patience then you should go to this school but if you don't have patience and don't do well in school then don't go to this school because it really sucks and they make you hold heavy books and papers and if your late to class you get detention for an hour also they give piles and tons of homework and they make you do a lot of quizzes and tests on that same day. Also today I went to class and I had to do over 8 tests or quizzes so I recommend not to go to this school pls.
