Jay started off great, helped our son stay focused on applying and talked about fit. However, as a…read moreself employed family we really wanted the financial advice he said he could give us, but that never came to fruition. He never helped us negotiate an offer, we had to bug him for 3 months to fill out the FAFSA/CSS Profile, which is a part of the services we paid for. He told us he would put together an "apples to apples" spreadsheet with all offers our son received. It took us FOUR months of asking for this to receive the correct information. The first several we received had colleges on it we never even looked at, much less applied to. Many emails and phone calls went unanswered. We finally gave up on his services. He doesn't even know where our son decided to go to school.

He was easily worth the hourly fee and saved me many times that amount in college tuition for my twins. With one child at Whitman and one at Smith, Jay was able to provide me direction, explained an error from when I filled out and submitted the FAFSA/CSS, and gave me terrific advice for how to handle the error with each school. He even knew the difference between how the two schools view my assets so I could make better financial decisions without adversely impacting my kids' financial aid. As a single mom getting the kids through school, his help was invaluable. I feel fairly financially savvy. Yet, I took their questions too literally and made a mistake on the FAFSA/CSS that cost my kids money. He has mastered the insanely complex world of financial aid. I cannot recommend Jay enough.

We used Carolyn's services for my daughter who is now a freshman in college. Our entire experience…read morewith Carolyn was very positive! Besides being very knowledgeable and helpful on all the timing of forms, deadlines and good tips, she kept our daughter on track with her college essays and ACT/SAT prep, and helped her narrow down her college choices to fit her personal requirements. Because of Carolyn's help, our daughter is now in a college in North Carolina (High Point University) that she would never had considered, if it weren't for Carolyn. Our daughter is super happy at HPU, and as they say "happy kids make happy parents!" Sure, the money that a good consultant costs seems like a lot at the time, but in the scheme of a college education was absolutely worth every penny!

I dealt mainly with Amy and highly recomend her. She was professional from the start and followed through on every detail. I must also admit that my second son did not make life easy for her nor did he engage properly at the begining. Amy did not give up and in the end my son improved his GPA at school, committed to achieving higher scores on his ACT and underwent a transformation. Amy was part of the team that oversaw that transformation and at all times, I felt thsat she really cared for him and the outcome.

It was a gift for our daughter to have a thought partner to lens with in this process, and for us as her parents to have a sounding board if we had questions or concerns. Amy's guidance and wisdom was an essential part of this process for all of this. I would highly recommend Macy College Consulting and wish we'd had them for our older daughter's search process.

We started working with Phil this past summer after feeling unsatisfied with our current IEP, as…read morethe goals didn't seem right, and we, as parents, weren't sure how to handle certain conversations with the school to get what we believed our daughter needed and deserved. With her starting 5th grade this year, we knew it was time to bring in a professional. Our daughter has a rare genetic disorder, comprehension challenges, and a broad learning disability, which makes it hard to know exactly what changes to push for as parents. That's why we're so grateful for Phil! He's already made a huge difference, with updating her IEP accordingly and suggesting other necessary changes to her school day. We're in a much better place than just a few months ago and are excited to keep working with him.

During my time at this school, I was assigned responsibilities well beyond my role, including…read morecovering ALL kindergarten library times, leading lunch announcements over the microphone, and supervising lunch/recess/hallway lines. Despite these expectations, I received little to no support from the administration. The demands of these responsibilities often conflicted with one another. My coworkers regularly expressed that the lunchroom was difficult to manage without my presence, while I was simultaneously expected to cover all kindergarten library times. This left me feeling like I was expected to be in two places at once and made it impossible to fully meet the needs of either responsibility. The principal rarely interacted with staff and visited my classroom only once every couple of months, often calling me by the wrong name. The vice principal consistently failed to follow through with student discipline and frequently required educational assistants to apologize for appropriately enforcing school expectations. Student behavior was often managed inconsistently. I was told by a kindergartener that the vice principal had given them a phone to watch TikTok. In another concerning situation, a fourth-grade female student who reported being punched in the stomach by a male classmate was allowed to decide whether her parents would be informed. Too often, it felt as though students, rather than staff, were in control. School administrators would often reprimand staff for not awarding Golden Tickets to students whenever a parent complained, even when those students had not demonstrated the appropriate behavior to earn the recognition that day. This created inconsistency in the school's behavior management system and undermined staff members' professional judgment. Instead of teaching students appropriate coping skills, conflict resolution, or self-regulation strategies, disruptive behavior was frequently rewarded with toys or playtime in the office. This approach undermined classroom expectations and made it difficult to maintain a safe, respectful learning environment. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this school as a workplace due to the lack of administrative support, unrealistic workload expectations, inconsistent discipline practices, and overall school culture. Lastly, my child attended this school and was not consistently challenged with work that matched their abilities or academic potential.

Dr. Brown, the principal, is so invested in her school, the teachers, and the students.

The PTO is likewise supportive and involved without being clique-ish and overbearing. This place is truly the BEST.

We have 2 sons, 8 & 11, who recently finished their Pons and Midbrain classes at Brain Highways…read more Our youngest son, who is now 8, was born with Scoliosis and subsequent Torticollis, or tightening of the neck muscles. At 2 months of age, we realized he was not able to turn his head to the left. And, while we immediately addressed the physical aspect of his condition, we did not realize the neurological piece to missing 6-8 months of development while we worked on strengthening his neck and back. I mention this background because since enrolling in Brain Highways, we now have the knowledge & tools our son needed to make those connections in his brain that he missed in his early months and following years. Looking back over the past several years of schooling, he has struggled in reading comprehension and most importantly, math. In just the past 16 weeks since we started our classes at Brain Highways, we have seen marked improvement from both of our boys, not only in their academics but in other areas, too, such as sports, general coordination and their ability to communicate their thoughts and feelings rather than becoming frustrated and shutting down. It has also been fascinating for us to learn more about the brain, how it makes connections and wraps myelin as we learn new skills. Our oldest son plays on a competitive soccer team and has come away with a new understanding of working on the edges of one's abilities or, as Brain Highways puts it, ""mindful-myelin" practice". When kids learn to move towards making mistakes, rather than avoiding them, amazing things happen! We LOVE Brain Highways and highly recommend for kids...and adults, too!!!!
