My daughter attended this school from age 5 to 22. It was everything we expected it to be. Dedicated staff, advise, constant involvement provided for parents, training for parents-it was all there. She grew up to be a fine young women. She enjoys lots of things in her life. Life so much richer due to all she was taught and experienced at Higashi school. It is a program which offers education for ASD kids as close to normalcy as possible. Thank You BHS. Her name is Nina

The Boston Higashi School is a school dedicated to the education and development of children with autism spectrum disorders. With the school's attention paid to 'Daily Life Therapy', students and parents are given a refreshing alternative to medications and aversion therapies.

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.

Oops! We currently do not have any student information for this school. We rely on the state Department of Education, the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), and in some cases school administrators such as registrars and principals for this data.
