My daughter just started her second year at Lisa North. It is by far the most challenging school she has attended but also the best. She is challenged daily and is making wonderful grades. The fact that the children in her class are on her academic level makes learning more fun for her and I am sure

The teachers, staff and children seem to be there because they want to be. In our case, the teachers have gone the extra mile and been there when most teachers in her public school would not have been.....they want the kids to succeed. Yes, it is tough and probably not for every one but if your child is serious about learning then this is the place for you. Read less

What can I say? Where do I begin? Since my first day of walking through the doors at LISA Academy North, I have been speechless. For a school in its very beginning stages, I feel as though we have made great strides! The staff is available from 7:30 in the morning with many not leaving until 5:00

'Why?' you ask...because not only do we provide a proper educational experience for all children, but we also include after-school clubs and CARE...for free, mind you. Throughout the week, as well as on weekends, you can see cars in the parking lot of dedicated employees still putting in long hours at nine and ten o'clock at night. Every school has its highs and lows, pros and cons, etc. But it is the smile of the children that prove to me that we're doing something worth being apart of! Read less

We heard much about Lisa Academy, this year we enrolled our child there. The school is academically challenging for the students. They have very strict discipline rules and are well enforced. Emphasis is definitely on science and math. The teachers are well versed in their fields, they are very good
... Read more with the students - although some are extremely difficult to understand due to their accents. Extra help for students is always available. Unfortunately, they have no area, inside or out, for PE class. The back parking lot is used and can be dangerous at times either from traffic or the gravel/pavement they play on. Overall we are happy with academics here, we will be back next year. Remember, this is not a school with athletics, purely science, math, and computers. It is a safe environment with discipline that is well enforced. The only real issue we have is why learn Turkish? Read less

This school is not very child oriented. As the student said, there is no gym, pe is 2hrs and no place to exercise, especially if the weather is bad. The teachers come and go. Sometimes don't show up or call in. They expect respect and responsibility from the students, but the teachers are neither

You cannot understand the teachers. They are not kind and patient. But you can learn a lot in this school. It is a math and science school. It doesn't have very many extracurricular progams. Your child has to be pretty smart to go here.

In my opinion Lisa Academy is is not a very good school. I go that school and I find it very hard to understand the teachers since most of them do not know english very well and have very heavy accents. I find it very hard to take any of the teachers seriously which sometimes affects my school work.
... Read more They focus all of their attention on learning math and science and a little on none on the fun stuff which is what us kids need. We have no gym so we have P.E. class in our parking lot. Our P.E. class can get interupted by cars coming in the parking lot. It is not only a disturbance but a danger to have children playing in a place where they could get hit by a car. That is what I think about Lisa Academy. Read less

Parent involvement is also encouraged by the numerous activities done. There are a lot of extracurricular clubs such as Mathcounts, Quizbowl, Basketball,
