Parent: Lake Grove Elementary is the #1 public elementary school in the #1 school district in the state for so many reasons. The quality and demeanor of the teachers, leaders, and staff are incomparable. The teacher to student ratios are excellent, the learning programs raise the bar for academic standards, and emphasis on Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) as well as diversity and inclusion is helping to shape our children to become better people. The parents, families, and community is highly involved and supportive beyond the PTA to include volunteerism, support for sports and art/theater programs, and all around pride in the look and feel and experience of the school.

Parent: Portland Jewish Academy is an outstanding school -- and community! The teachers are incredible people and educators who work hard to, and are supported in, developing relationships with each student and learning how they learn best. The differentiation for student learning styles and interests is excellent. PJA cares deeply about developing the hearts as well as the minds of students, with a robust service learning program, inter-grade buddies, and K-8 "mishpachot" ("families"). A true pluralistic Jewish school, PJA balances teaching of tradition with exploring and encourages students -- Jewish and non-Jewish alike -- to develop personal spiritual practices that are comfortable and nourishing. The school motto, "Think for yourself. Work for the world," resonates at every level.... Read 23 reviews

Niche User: My oldest son went from a school where he was disengaged, disinterested, miserable, cried in the mornings begging to stay home, refusing to to his homework. He HATED school and his grades reflected it. The communication was poor and my husband and I couldn't understand why he was struggling. After moving him to Boones Ferry, he transformed into a happy boy. He works happily works hard in school to be a good student without any intervention from my husband or I. He just enjoys school now and wants to learn. He does his homework daily without struggle and never complains about school anymore. It's simply amazing the turnaround! Thanks to Boones Ferry, school is a happy experience for my children!... Read 8 reviews

Alum: Teachers are very invested and present in the student’s academic journey. With a small class and the same teachers, a rhythm is created in each class and bonds form between students and teachers. Teachers understand the difficulty of the IB program and are flexible to use the best teaching methods for each class. The main faults of this school don’t lie with the teaching staff or curriculum, but with the facilities and funding. OTA is in need of renovations.... Read 6 reviews

Parent: We enrolled our son in Fork Union Military Academy after seeing so many YouTube videos that touted the benefits of the one-subject program and the school. The promise of focus, structure, and accomplishment came through. He passed all his classes in this, his first year, a sophomore at FUMA. We took advantage of their academic success program. There he found continuous support and cheers! They found novel approaches to reach him, took the time to learn about him, and flexed their approaches. I have been concerned in the past about the ability of teachers who are not Black to 'see my son' as an individual. At FUMA, they know him, challenge him to be his best, hold him accountable, and motivate him. I am proud of what he has done this year. As a testament to the place, he is looking forward to going back in the Fall - he's proud that he's earned a promotion in rank and knows he can do even better academically. Amazing....

The teachers were encouraging and set high expectations for all students. I would have liked to have more opportunities to join multiple clubs which were not offered at the time; however, my siblings are currently attending Queen of Apostles and I have seen a tremendous change in the atmosphere which fosters school spirit and personal growth....
