EXCELLENT SCHOOL!! bright, caring staff, very low student/staff ratio. my son loved school, learned to regulate his emotions, became an excellent student, received o.t. and speech services. had great friends. an incredible all-round education, with relationships at the core. highly recommend Hirsch Academy!!!

I am continuously impressed by my son's care at Hirsch. They love my son and don't see him as just "autistic" but as a little guy who has something to offer. The staff is top notch and seems to be right on the edge of understanding what is needed to help my son and others who need this unique care. They want the same things for my son as I do-to have friends, to love learning, and to be happy. I feel so lucky to be part of this school.

Hirsch caters only to kids with learning disabilities and sensory dysfunction. Staff are great, hearts are in the right place. Not for kids with ASD -- they do not know how to help ASD kids.

About these ratings

The Community Rating is the school’s average rating from its community members (e.g., parents, students, and school staff). The highest possible rating is five stars; the lowest is one star.

We currently do not have any test score information for this school. Unlike public schools, private schools are not always required to report data about their schools or not required to take the same tests as public schools. Many private schools take different standardized tests; however, that information is often made available only to families of enrolled students. We strive to acquire additional private school data whenever available.
