“I hate this shool. This school is all talk but really no game at all. I would only recommend this school if your child has no life and is ready to spend lots of time on homework. I would say more that 3 hours and up if your entering for the 9th grade. And as you go to 10th,11th, and 12th it increases.”

“This school is all about learning. The faculty and staff care about the kids and it's a close knit community. Disipline is harsh, but is consistant with Charter school policy. If a child wants to excel, there is every opportunity for them to do so. They can be tutored by mit and harvard students and resubmit and redo homework or quizes if they want to get better grades. They have AP classes for the older kids, and in the first graduating senior class this past year, one student got a full scholarship to Cornell! I think this school is a somewhat unknown gem in the Boston area, which is why my child was able to get in through the lottery! I highly recommend this school!”

“This is a new school so it has not yet had the chance to find it's voice. It's a great school for parental involvement - parents are an integral part of school community and formation. The first year was a rocky and experimental year - the community was shocked to see how many disruptive, troubled kids were enrolled here for 'babysitting'. The result is an almost 'over disciplined' approach, that works, but is sometimes harsh. The teachers are passionate and full of young energy, but lack experience. It's a very touchy-feely liberal place, too full of 'diversity' training. Long school days are great for working parents, but tough on kids who have no time for friends, sports and chores. Classes and subject matter are interesting. There's a uniform dress code.”
