This school has made a tremendous difference for our entire family and has drawn out the kids to be their best selves.

My son has ADHD. For years in the public school system (i.e. before Commonwealth Academy), he was considered an average student. But cognitively, he scored in the top 5%. Commonwealth Academy figured out how to help him bridge that gap, and now he considers himself smart and self-confident academically (and his grades show it!). Even if we put him back into a different system, I believe he will thrive because of his time here; it was worth every penny just for that. But on top of that, the kids are nice and you don't see the kind of bullying that normally happens in middle school (the school does not tolerate that!). I would like to see more of: --School days. They start 2 weeks after public school and have lots of breaks. --Because of the size of the school and the focus, it is hard for them to have lots of electives/extra programs. I would love to have a world language class and also music classes. --Proactive transport assistance: more help with carpools, or even a bus route

Commonwealth is a really inclusive small community feel. The teachers are always available for help and extra clarification when you need it. Over the years Commonwealth has expanded its sports program. Its really nice because even though you might not be great at a sport, you get a chance to try it out and improve your skills.

My child's experience was terrible. The teachers were nice but they did not teach kids with dyslexia as the advertised. This school wasted years of education and money.

We enrolled our son at Commonwealth Academy (CA) mid-year, when our local school was having issues meeting his needs. He has a learning profile of ADHD, language processing difficulties, and executive function (EF) difficulties. We were very excited about CA’s stated focus on executive function, and...

This school does not prepare you for college. They lock your phone away for the entire school day, they have cameras everywhere, some of the teachers act like they just want to go home, they don't honor accommodations, and the overall school is subpar. As a former student, I would look for a differe...

Commonwealth Academy is above and beyond what anyone could possibly imagine for their child. After our older daughter finished elementary school we knew we needed to find a small, specialized school so that she could thrive and succeed. It was a thrill to find such a warm, inclusive atmosphere fille...
