Sewickley Academy provides a close culture that prepares students for college with the new dean system, where students are split into three groups to receive expert college advice. However, with recent firings and a less diverse community, some students struggle to be seen.

Not helpful in the least for kids who learn outside the box. Really disappointing. Not supportive and extremely judgmental. We are much happier at other schools than this one. Also not great about communicating to parents. Made our one child extremely anxious and that was difficult to see.

Amazing student body. Not as preppy and entitled as one would imagine, considering the area. More diverse than expected, and a great emphasis on preparing students for college.
