Alum: I started at Junction its first year. The school was small, and the staff were kind. Academics were great, with opportunities to do advanced courses (no GATE program at my time). Location is very safe, with bike trails and parks galore. School spirit activities were always a blast. The population grew too fast and too big, though, and now there are portables on the playground which don't let the kids enjoy recess as much. However overall, it was a great place to grow up....

Review your school
Parent: My two older kids started at Sunset Ranch when it was a brand new school in a brand new community. My son was part of the very first full graduating class to have started kindergarten and to go all the way to 6th grade. I love all the teachers and their willingess to go above and beyond when the student or family needs something extra. The staff is so friendly and welcoming and ready to help. One important thing for me is that in the 10 years I have been a part of the school with my kids, their teacher turn around is very low. I now have a 2nd grader attending the school and I feel at home and so does he. It is a great school! The PTC is always looking for new opportunities to bring interesting fun learning experiences in for the kids. Science and art are a big deal for both teachers and kids.... Read 3 reviews

Parent: Bishop McNamara is a wonderful school that provides a safe, family oriented environment and a challenging academics. I had a son that previously attended Mac and a daughter that is a current rising Junior. She loves school and is excelling in her academics. She is also very active in various activities at school such as: Orchestra, Student Council, various clubs and Lacrosse. McNamara has helped her to come out of her shell and try new things. It has also assisted her with learning time management, balancing her schedule and activities, being her own advocate when needed and preparing her for the next level. I am confident she will be very prepared for college and what life has to offer.... Read 343 reviews

Parent: My kids have been attending Basis since before the pandemic, and we are so impressed! Rich academic curriculum, good inclusion of the arts, excellent opportunity for differentiation based on student needs. The teachers are dedicated and so are the parents to the kids' success. While the administration has been bumpy as the school has gotten established (only 5 years old), they earned their stripes during the pandemic. Organized, safety-focused and diligent about communication. We supplement school with sports leagues and scouting outside of school, which many parents do. Easy to do given the extensive choice you have in the DC area. Also appreciate the international study body with impressively bright students from all over the world. A real meritocracy, unlike other private schools that admit based on VIP status or connections/donations. In the next few years, this school will only continue to advance its place in the rankings.... Read 48 reviews
