Lehman Alternative Community School Reviews
Rating 3.27 out of 5 11 reviews
Our experience here has not been amazing thus far. As an adamant proponent of alternative education, I was very optimistic about this school. Yet, we have unfortunately been faced with disorganized schedules and classes, a lack of clear communication and support for families, and teachers who expect parents to accommodate their emotional and logistical needs rather than vice-versa. This seems to be a school who promotes equity in word only...there is a clear lack of leadership and organization.
The Lehman Alternative Community School excels at teaching critical thinking and decision-making skills. However, academics—especially in STEM—are subpar. There is a strong, supporting community of like-minded people.
This school is strong in the areas of critical thinking, student agency, and analytical skills, however it is lacking in student discipline and academics in the areas of STEM especially.
