Prospect Hill Academy Charter School

As a parent of a student at the elementary school I have mixed feelings about my child's experience at Prospect. The Spanish curriculum is lacking, science equally poor, music was questionable, and the teachers hired for specialties are lacking the quality and education necessary to engage, instruct and propel the students forward both intellectually and creatively. Although the Massachusetts Department of Education does show that Prospect Hill Academy as a whole consists (or consisted of at the time) and over 90% highly qualified teacher rate, my experience with the lower school has proven otherwise. I suggest a necessary shift in lower school leadership, a discerning look at teacher quality, and a focus on improving the school to better serve the children. There are some great teachers at the lower school who go above and beyond their call of duty but it's not enough.

My daughter just graduate with 53 other students. ALL the students are going on to further their education many of them to top institutions. I am thrilled with the education she received while attending PHA. I have just enrolled my son into the second grade. I highly recommend this school

This is my daugther's first year in this school. (1st grade) They give her class more than one homework per night, and that include weekends. I like it that way, because I know my child is not wasting time learning. I am very proud to see how advanced my daughter is. This school is the Best!!!

This school has all the means for a child to successed in school. They have extra help if needed, they don't waste time. Attention is there for every single member of that school.

I love Prospect Hill Academy Chatter school because is a very good school, very culturally oriented and the majority of students that graduate from this High School go to College.

My child started at PHA with an IEP for a learning disability. Within 2 years she was consistently achieving high honor roll status without any need for SPED support :) She's now in her 4th year, with high self esteem and good friendships with both adults and peers in the PHA community.

WOW! PHA Middle School is truly an excellent school. The quality of the work given to students exceeds what I have seen at the 'best' private schools. This school defies all stereotypes and disparaging statistic relating to 'urban' schools. PHA is top quality.

I have been very impressed with PHA. The leadership shown by Jed Lippard and the school principal is stellar. They are organized and focussed on their goals, as well as caring and supportive. My son has come so far academically and I feel he is being prepared for any challenge ahead. They are now working on improving parent involvement with the acknowledgement that it is one of their weaker aspects.
