Allison Academy is a hidden gem. My daughter had reached a stress level that wasn't healthy at her previous high school - lots of needless homework, teachers that didn't teach, kids that didn't want to learn. I knew she would do best in a small, nurturing setting - a place where teachers and administrators would know and understand each child as an individual. I searched and didn't have much hope in finding such a place in Miami. I looked online and found a school I had never heard of - Allison Academy. I called right away and made an appointment to meet Dr. Sarah Allison the very next day. The moment I met Dr. Allison, I knew I had found what I was looking for. Dr. Allison is warm, nurturing and experienced in educating children at the middle school and high school levels. After a tour of the charming school and the chance to sit in during some classes, we arranged for my daughter to visit. She was tentative about going back to school, but once she spent some time here and realized she would have all the support and guidance of wonderful teachers and Dr. Allison, she began again. Not only has my daughter gained a new confidence in herself and her view of school, but she has become a happier child, has made some new friends and regained her old spirit. I am so grateful for the teachers who have given her the desire to learn again. read more

My sister goes to this school. This was an amazing fit for her because she came in speaking French and is now at the end of the year speaking English.this was possible because of the small classroom sizes and the individualized attention. If you are looking for a school for your child definitely give them a try! read more

Ms Allison is the reason this school doesn't get a 1 star is ms Allison is very intelligent and takes chances on kids. I behaved well at this school but I was bullied by every kid in my because i was overweight in class. it was tuff to focus on my work as I was getting bullied so I left the school in 3 months and didn't finish the year. Ms Allison didn't steal ms Allison let me leave and respected my decision the teachers didn't care that I was bullied but the science teacher is a good person. I was getting bullied by the whole class every single person it was hard to focus on my work as I was getting bullied by every single person. Ms Allison is a very good person she tried helping me even when I was getting bullied but it did not work. Since I left the school I went to a great military school with the best education in fl and graduated at 16 I hope Allison academy permanently fixes the bullying problem it was hard on me at the time but thank you ms Allison for doing the right thing and letting me leave at peace ms Allison is a good person she is trustworthy. read more

not safe. false claims of the programs they say they offer; no lunch; $20k/year; facility falling apart; no honors classes; black students treated unfairly; school is independent so there is no oversight nor accountability; don't take my word for it; interview the principal and see if you get the impression that this school is a good fit; most teachers aren't certified; beware and do your research. read more

"Thank you for your hard work in supporting my son Our life as family and his socio/emotional and intellectual improvement is outstanding. " read more

My yonger brother that had a mild disability and went to this school. He was bullied, the principal and the teachers thought it was ok. They later told us that my brother had to leave because everything that happened in school was his fault. They blamed him for everything. If you support bullying this is the right school for your child. I now have 2 sons and I would rather send them to American Heritage and sit in traffic for an hour then have them go to this school. Great reputation!!!! read more
