  Rating 3.94 out of 5  66 reviews

Parent: The Meadows School is exceptional. I remember the first time I toured the campus I was overwhelmed with the thought, “This is how education should be. Why can’t all schools be like this?” The faculty holds high expectations while providing rigorous and engaging lessons that hone critical thinking skills and fosters productive citizenship. The school offers students an array of academic and extracurricular opportunities and the school community is the best I have witnessed. The school prides itself on teaching students service to one’s community, character, and scholarship. And, the Meadows values students from all economic backgrounds with 20% of students receiving financial aid scholarships. My family and I are thankful for The Meadows School.

Sage Ridge School

• Private School•
• RENO, NV•

  Rating 3.95 out of 5  58 reviews

Parent: We have two children with vastly different personalities, strengths, development needs, and interests. We as parents have witnessed our children's significant growth in just one year here, but it's most heartwarming that our children themselves have recognized how much they're learning, and have actually thanked us for moving them to Sage Ridge!...The sense of community that exists at Sage Ridge includes the students who form bonds, as they go through periods of success and conflict together throughout their years at the school. It also importantly includes a talented, thoughtful, engaged, and supportive group of adults - faculty, administration, parents, and the Board, who collectively and collaboratively work together on continuously improving the school. We envision being at Sage Ridge for the next decade, until our youngest heads to college, and look forward to its continued focus on quality education with continued community involvement...Read 58 Reviews

The Adelson Educational Campus

• Private School•
• LAS VEGAS, NV•
• PK, K-12

  Rating 4.1 out of 5  30 reviews

Junior: I'm a student at the Adelson Educational Campus high school. First and foremost, Adelson offers a wide variety of College Prep, Honors, and AP classes, all of which are supported by amazing teachers with high levels of education and experience within their respective fields. The small class sizes (under 25 kids per classroom) allow for one-on-one connection with the teacher and ensure that every student understands the material. On top of academics, Adelson offers several extracurricular opportunities like after-school sports, academic clubs, and international exchange programs. ...This year, Adelson is balancing new Covid-19 protocol with its regular academics. This protocol includes a mask-wearing policy, increased sanitation, hand sanitizer and sanitizing wipes in every classroom, increased ventilation, one-way staircases/hallways, and socially-distanced desks. Teachers are able to flawlessly switch to Zoom on a moment's notice, and staff always ensures that all students feel safe...Read 30 Reviews

Alum: Bishop Gorman, when I attended, 1977-1980 was an Outstanding Private High School. Great Education, Mostly Great Teachers, Great all around programs offered to its students, Sports, Music, Math, Science, Cheer and many more...I only wish as do today, that they would teach the Catholic Faith as Jesus told us, and not what fits their agenda. Want to truly participate in the Most Holy Act or Worship in the Catholic Church, bring back the Latin Mass and teach only what Jesus taught us. Francis is not the Pope!...Read 372 Reviews

Senior: Throughout my four years of attending Bishop Manogue Catholic High School as a student, I genuinely appreciated the schools ability to form a safe and comfortable atmosphere there for me. The environment around me was comfortable and it was able to adjust to each students needs without disrupting the peace of others. I admired being taught academically and religiously alongside my peers. Bishop Manogue Catholic High School provided my peers and I, a safe place to be able to not only worship freely but to be comfortable with the area around us...Read 134 Reviews

Faith Lutheran Middle School & High School

• Private School•
• LAS VEGAS, NV•
• 6-12
• •
  Rating 3.98 out of 5  222 reviews

Senior: Faith Lutheran is for the most part an amazing place to explore educational interests before college.Pros:Faith has something called academies. Students can specialize in law, science, fine arts, business, and most recently, airplanes! There is also an Honors Institute which is an invitation only educational experience. All academies and the institute allows students to graduate with an endorsement from said group. There are also far more classes that students can take that allow exploration into more difficult topics before college. The school is one of the top schools in the state. ...Cons:FLHS is a religious school. It is to be expected that there will be religious teachings. My issue, personally, was it sometimes feels like a bit much. We have weekly chapel, required religion class and student worship every week. Christian or no it can be a bit much, sometimes taking away from the educational prowess. ...Overall I would recommend FLHS to anyone, shortcomings and all! I loved it.Read 222 Reviews

  Rating 3.5 out of 5  4 reviews

Parent: This is my first time to study abroad alone. However, this school is amazing. I'm study with Daishen Nix, who is a five-star recruit and has committed to play college basketball for UCLA. My first inspiration about Trinity International School is so small, but that's why it makes me feel like I'm in my home now. Friends at school have helped me a lot with my school work because my English is not really good. The teachers take care of us perfectly. It's really hard to describe how good my school is. It's just perfect for me...Read 4 Reviews

  Rating 4.06 out of 5  98 reviews

Alum: I have been going to Lake Mead christian Academy since the first grade and i think that the school is in all ways better than the public school experience, i have tried public school when i moved to California and the difference in how teachers teach, their understanding and how much they truly care for you is insurmountable. At Lake Mead the staff just love what they do and you can just feel that atmosphere of just joy, but overall i think that although the school does cost quite a bit if you can afford the tuition that money will not go to waste, and even if you can't that have stuff like payment plans and scholarships you can get to reduce the cost of going there...Read 98 Reviews

Parent: My daughter and my nephew have been attending Calvary ChapelChristian School since Kindergarten and PreSchool, respectively, they are now in 5th grade and we love it there! It’s an affordable option if you want your child in a Christ centered environment where the teachers and faculty love your child and prays for them! The teachers truly have a heart for the children to not only teach them academically, but foremost instill biblical values!

Niche User: Sierra Lutheran is an amazing school! The school really feels like a family! The teachers and the students were all my best friends. I didn't realize how lucky I was until I had to leave, it was like loosing a piece of me. I have been to a lot of schools and SLHS was the best school I've ever been to. I would give almost anything to be able go back. The student body is very welcoming to new students. Student leadership works really hard to put on a bunch of fun activities for the students. I would highly recommend you to send your children here...Read 43 Reviews

Parent: I started my search for a wonderful many years ago. We are zoned for the top public schools but they were not what we wanted. I finally pulled my son out and did an online program with him. That's when I discovered American Heritage Academy. This is my son's second year at the school and he loves it. I absolutely love the environment, the education and the love of country. That is something we are currently missing in schools. Excellent school!...Read 26 Reviews

  Rating 4 out of 5  14 reviews

Alum: I went to Excel Christian starting in 1st grade, and I just recently graduated with the class of 2021. Throughout my time there, I grew a lot as a person - spiritually, mentally, emotionally, etc. I truly believe that although no high school experience can fully prepare you for a college experience, I believe that Excel did a great job of preparing me to the best of the abilities. This school has amazing and supportive teachers who are willing to help the student out no matter the circumstance. Despite its small size, the middle school and high school student body can tend to be clique-y, but that is to be expected at any sized school. But overall, the student body is very welcoming and inclusive. I loved my time at Excel. I'm proud to say that I am an alumni. Go Warriors!...Read 14 Reviews

Alum: My time here at Word Of Life Christian Academy was endearing. I was a student my senior year of high school and had never attended a private school. The culture is different from public schools. Academically, this was the best option for me. I excelled here at Word of Life. The teachers are more personal and one-on-one with the students. The principal is the best! she works with all grades and loves each and every one of her students. I would love to see this school grow in the sports department and also in the arts department...Read 7 Reviews

Parent: This school is outstanding! Moving our kids from a public school to this school was the best decision we ever made for them. They’re now receiving amazing instruction and a real education. They have begged me to not take them out of this school. Not only are the class sizes smaller so there’s more one on one time, but they take the time to get to know each student. They work with them to help them learn the material more efficiently. The teachers are so sweet and well educated. This school has a passion that shines through in everything they do. I recommend this school to everyone I come across that has children...Read 28 Reviews

  Rating 4.86 out of 5  7 reviews

Senior: I think Mountain View Christians Schools is a wonderful place. Great teachers who try to help you whenever you're needing help. Teachers and staff are very friendly towards others and the students here are magnificent as well with diversity. Students are here to learn more and more while the teachers teach more and more. The Christian aspect of the school is wonderful as we learn about Christ and what he has set in place for us. Our Bible class although difficult helps us learn what to do in life and how we should handle different situations. Teachers actually try to help those who are focused on their future especially when it comes to college they love giving out tips and as well as give us time in classes to sign up for scholarships and grants. The school overall exceeds my expectations of what I thought it'd be like in a Christian school. They even include sports into the school such as football, baseball, basketball, softball, and volleyball...Read 7 Reviews
