Lionsgate Academy is a wonderful and nurturing school for those with autism. Each child is treated with respect, hope and encouragement to be the best they can be. The programs and culture create an environment where the kids thrive and want to learn more each day. We are so fortunate that our son is able to attend this wonderful and amazing school!!

Amazing staff and students! Completely ignore the 2/10 rating on test scores. This is a Charter School for students with Autism. All of the students are in special education and on IEP's. That is NOT an excuse for not having high test scores...but the state tests compare students to one another on a typical scale. There are no other public school similar to this population. This is a safe learning evironment and has made exceptional strides with students with special needs who were bullied and not challenged academically in a typical setting because of their disability.

Lionsgate Academy is an amazing place. It is the only middle school and high school that services older children with autism. We met and saw some of the students on the day of our meeting and we notice how happy they are, and very focus on their activities. The staff are always happy and willing to help. Unfortunately, when we met the administrations they already decided that this might not be a right school for our son.. It was sad to know that they already made up their mind even though they have not even met our son.... We will not give up and continue to find a great school for him that will accept him no matter what....

Lionsgate Academy is a rare find in education. Individualism is truly valued and encouraged. Lionsgate is an exciting place to learn, for students and staff alike. As a staff member there, I feel like I have truly found a family away from home and enjoy my work to the point that it doesn't feel like work most of the time.

I have great respect for this school's efforts on behalf of children stuggling with this problem. My family is dealing with these same issues with three children.

I love and respect the academy, and all of the devoted teachers and aides that go way beyond to help these children..I have a Grandson there, and the changes in him, in the past two years, are beyond anyone's imagination..He went from a boy with social problems,and nearly no friends, to someone that is a role model now, and LOTS of new friends..I attribute that to the school, and the fine faculty that is employed there..I could not be happier to have him there, and will do anything I can to help it stay that way.

I love Lionsgate Academy not only for the outstanding staff, but the families as well. This school is truly a close community where learning and caring go hand-in-hand. I, personally, cannot even fathom going back to a 'normal' public school. The work we do here is amazing!

This school does an amazing job listening to student's and parent's needs and concerns and responding in the best needs of the student.

This school is specific to kids with high-functioning autism/asperger's. What is so wonderful about it, is that my child feels so accepted and comfortable here. Everyone understands him and accepts him for who he is. Therefore, he is better able to focus in school because he doesn't have all the issues he was dealing with in public school, such as just fitting in and his need to measure up to the other kids.
