    Sheridan School

    • Private School
    • Washington, DC
    • K-8
    • 3 reviews

    Parent: Our daughter has been at Sheridan for 5 years. We have been very happy with our experience at Sheridan. Sheridan is very intentional in the way it approaches educating the children who attend the school. We love how the mission and the philosophy of the school sees kids not a vessels to be filled with knowledge but meets them where they are in terms of their own journey. The low student to teacher ratio means that the curriculum and teachers can be very nimble and teach to the children who are in the room. Each child feels challenged at his or her own level. One other thing that sets a Sheridan student apart from others is his/her ability to speak confidently in front of a group - peers and adults. Oh and the kids have THE BEST time at school. It is truly a place full of joy!

  5. Ralls Independent School District

    • School District
    • Ralls, TX
    • 2 reviews

    Senior: I have loved going to Ralls High School. There is just so much diversity in everything, but in a good way! The students, the teachers, and the administrators all have their own personal personalities that I love to learn about! We of course aren't perfect at sports but I think that the coaches and athletes really do try their best and most of the time, it really pays off. There has never been a time when I have ever felt unsafe at Ralls High School either, we have great security and good back up plans if anything were ever to happen. Overall, the school has been great to my family and I and I have learned so much not only academically, but socially, and societal as well.

  7. Levelland Independent School District

    • School District
    • Levelland, TX
    • 4 reviews

    Alum: I attended schools in the Levelland school district from Pre-kindergarten through grade 12. The teachers are caring and supportive, always going the extra mile to let their students know that we were more to them than a statistic for a state test. The district is willing to listen to what parents have to say about changes that need to be made in order to better the education and over all experience of the students in the LISD.
