Academics West School Reviews

If you want a place where people actually want to help you.

I have really bad ADHD and normally hate going to school. AW is a great school, and the teachers care more than any place I went to. I was there for about 3 years. It is a chill place, and I made some really good friends. Def recommend it if you want a small place where people actually want to help you. You’re not just a number.

I feel lucky that we found this place for her!

My daughter goes to Academics West, and it has been a great decision. She was stuck in a bad place and wasn’t thriving. Since being at AW, she has made friends and her teachers care (not something I could have said at the last school she went to). She no longer begs to stay home and cries. Now she goes pretty regularly and even sometimes talks about what she is learning in class. For me, I get a lot of communication from the school. I can always pick up the phone or email the admin or teachers to check in on my daughter. Definitely worth checking out. We have been very happy.

They actually cared about me and wanted to see me succeed!

I didn’t graduate from there but I stayed till 11th and then went to another school. I really loved that place and have great memories of the teachers there. They actually cared about me and wanted to see me succeed. Now I am at college doing pretty well, and I don’t think I would be here without Academics West. Nothing else to say, but I needed them badly then. Thanks!
