2017 Best Private High Schools in DaytonAbout this List

The Miami Valley School

• Private School
• Dayton, OH
• PK, K-12
• 44

High School Senior: I have been at this school my entire life and it has been the best part of my life. Sometimes it is more of a home to me than my actual one. There is no place like it because the environment of the school is unbelievable until you become apart of it! Everyone is incredibly passionate, empathetic, intelligent, and outgoing in one sense or another. It really is like a giant family, even if I rarely talk to half the students or freshman there is still mutual respect. Even though the Immersion program is only once a year for one month, the reality is that everyday is a different immersion. No class, nor interaction, or experience is ever the same as the last and I am almost never bored.

Carroll High School

• Private School
• Dayton, OH
• 9-12
• 96

Senior: Academics strong. Many AP and honors courses are available and most of the teachers are excellent and inspiring. There’s a house system like Harry Potter. Sporting events like basketball and football are generally well attended with themes and a flag patrol. In terms of diversity, there's not much. There are a lot of international students but it's still mostly white, suburban kids. I always felt safe at school. Administration is friendly. The food is overpriced—horrendously overpriced, $4.00 for a combo not including drinks or chips or anything, but relatively good tasting. Each student gets a Chromebook they keep until they graduate. The school is fairly clean. There's an all school mass once a month and before school mass once a week. Plenty of math competitions, an excellent academic team, great track and field, a fantastic marching band and jazz band and a phenomenal art program. Carroll has something for anyone who goes, as long as they make an effort.

Chaminade Julienne High School

• Private School
• Dayton, OH
• 9-12
• 156

Senior: CJ is typically a great school because everyone is friendly. However, their recent renovations have caused the hallways to be drearier because the lockers are now painted grayish brown instead of blue and green. The updates to the classrooms are great! I hope they will continue to renovate the rest of the building even though their LIFT campaign is done.

Archbishop Alter High School

• Private School
• Kettering, OH
• 9-12
• 164

Senior: Alter High School is an institution built on tradition. It is a private Catholic high school and the Alter community couldn't be more welcoming and loving. Alter has provided me with an excellent education and the ability to participate on the prestigious football team and the lacrosse team as well. If i were to change anything about the school it would just be that the school be updated physically. The community of the school and what it stands for is unchangeable and for a good reason. The only modifications to be made would be to update the facilities.

Spring Valley Academy

• Private School
• Dayton, OH
• PK, K-12
• 43

Senior: I have enjoyed my time at SVA. The school offers a clean and modern environment to go to school. Also the classes are small enough that it gives you personalised learning experience with your teachers. The teachers are all very knowledgeable about the subjects they teach. The only thing I would change at the school is I would like to see more sports brought into the school. Overall though this school has been a blessing to me.

Dominion Academy of Dayton

• Private School
• Dayton, OH
• K-12
• 21

Sophomore: My experience at Dominion Academy has been amazing. Not only have I been able to make many friends, I have also had the chance to excel academically. Dominion Academy has served a major role in preparing me for college. In fact, many students at Dominion Academy take college classes through Ohio's College Credit Plus program while in high school. At the high school, I am given many opportunities to express my opinion about a variety of topics, and my classmates do the same. At all times, even though classmates may have differing opinions, a peaceful environment without rude argument is kept. This school has allowed me to form my opinions without forcing their own opinions on me, shaping who I am today.

East Dayton Christian School

• Private School
• Dayton, OH
• PK, K-12
• 21

Junior: It's a small school, but that's what I love about it. Most of us students have known each other since elementary school, and even if we aren't friends, there's usually a general sense of closeness amongst us. In high school, we have the same group of teachers throughout those four years, which allows our teachers to really get to know us and invest in our lives. Teachers here genuinely care about helping students not just academically, but spiritually as well, which is equally as important.
