"Why is GreatSchools removing critical reviews of this school posted by concerned and frustrated parents that meet the terms of use and community guidelines posted on this site? Numerous reviews that meet these standards have been removed from this site. Does the school have the ability to ask that things they don't like are removed from this site?"

"This is an outstanding school. We have had our son here for 4 years, and it has been wonderful watching him grow and learn from the caring and sensitive teachers. All the kids are smart, whether or not they are twice exceptional. Parents should know that really what they are paying for is great teachers, small classes, and a school philosophy of respect and openess that evident in the classroom and elsewhere. We were lucky to find this school, after years in the Jeffco school system, where kids were expressly taught to score well on the CSAP and classes were focused on making sure most kids were essentially performing at an average level. The only negative is that Mac ends at 8th grade, and finding a follow up school for your child of similar quality can be a challenge."

"My son has met challenges in other schools and thankfully, we have found in Mack a school that he LOVES! This is his 2nd year and the thought of having to consider any other option scares me. I didn't think there was any program out there for him, however, he is truly thriving in this program. My son works very hard loving every minute of it, learning amazing skills and practicing skills that help develop a character that complements what we try to teach him at home. How wonderful that the administration has worked hard to expand the program to kids like my son in the Boulder area! As the head master sets the stage for the beautiful Mackintosh program and philosophy in Boulder, she has left the extremely capable and warm Mrs. Anderson in charge at the Littleton campus. Although there has been teacher turnover, the teachers who are there clearly want to be there evidenced by their enthusiasm. We have not ever experienced less than excellence from any staff member on the campus. My son will be at this school for as long as they will have him. I, for one, am glad they have expanded to allow others the same opportunity for an exciting gifted education!"

"This my child's second year at Mackintosh Academy and we are delighted with the results! Learning gains have been tremendous as a direct result of the academically rigorous and thoughtfully implemented IB curriculum--adapted to the needs of gifted and talented students and students who are twice exceptional. It is an environment where children are treated as individuals and their learning styles are addressed accordingly. We looked throughout the metro area for a school that would meet the social and emotional needs of our child as well as a demanding academic environment. The IB Curriculum at Mackintosh and the language program met our goals for globally competitive education. Focus on performing and visual arts provided opportunity for self-expression and comprehensive exposure to the arts. Focus on physical fitness, PE is offered everyday, allowed for awareness of well-being. To this, we have found that the administration, staff, and parent body exhibit genuine interest in and kindness to our family. We look forward to many years at this school and are grateful that the model is being shared with others."

"This school is a Godsend. We have 2 kids at Mack, one who is "twice exceptional", and one who is "just gifted". Both are intellectually challenged, supported in both their strenghs and challenges, and are developing fantastic awareness of themselves, their community in and outside of school. School leadership is compassionate, professional, and visionary- setting an example of world citizenship and scholarly and creative excellence that will serve my kids well throughout their lives. Our family is proud to be part of the Mackintosh community and I am grateful for the partnership of the teachers and leadership in giving my kids a remarkable education."
