Parent: Both of our kids started at The New School in ninth grade, after eight years of public school. It was one of the best parenting decisions we've ever made. Everything about this school is terrific. The teachers are passionate, inspired, and inspiring. Small, topics-driven, seminar-style classes foster creativity and independent thinking, while the welcoming atmosphere makes everyone feel at home. Our two kids turned out to be very different kinds of learners, but both thrived at The New School. Our youngest graduates next year, and we'll be sad to think of not having that day-to-day connection. Can't say enough about this wonderful school!...Read 26 Reviews

Senior: What I like about Cascade High School is the diversity and positive mindset that is set as a school campus. There sport's program is very competitive while also being in a very intense league against other schools. What I wish can change at Cascade is the equipment and a renovation since the school is old and does not get enough funding. Overall it is a very good school that welcomes others with open arms!...Read 326 Reviews

Senior: I love Mariner high school becuase it provides bountiful opportunities for students to be involved academically and in extracurricular activities. For example, they provide academic programs such as the veterinary program, teaching program, dual enrollment, AP courses, and honors courses. In addition to academics, they offer a variety of extracurricular activities such as sports, about 100 different clubs, and even after school study hours. However, one thing that I would change would be to make school pep rallies last longer and to provide more school spirit opportunities in order to motivate students to be more involved and motivated in school...Read 304 Reviews

Niche User: This school was my savior. Before coming here I was completely lost, and behind in school. The teachers and environment helped me stay focused through everything. I accomplished all my goals there, and made great relationships with staff. They helped me push through even when I wanted to give up and also encouraged me the whole way through. Their system works amazing and although it’s an alternative high school, you will only find students that are serious about their education. Sequoia is a wonderful school that cares about their students and wellbeing’s. I couldn’t imagine going back to any other school after that. I am class of 2020 and I loved sequoia high school...Read 23 Reviews

Parent: This is our family's first year at The Little School and we've had a wonderful experience so far. My son is in third grade and his transition from his old school has been much easier than I expected. The small classes and attentive teachers and staff make the school an inclusive environment to a diverse range of kids. One thing that really sold us on TLS - aside from the curriculum - was the beautiful forested campus. Students learn in nature and have opportunities to build forts, climb into tree houses, and observe native plants and animals. We've found the academics very strong, and taught in ways that engage our son and build a true understanding of math, reading, and science concepts that allow him to build on his knowledge and skills to the best of his ability. Social Emotional Learning is integrated into every aspect of the school and the growth my son has shown in that regard since he started at TLS has impressed my husband and me. We consider ourselves lucky to have found TLS!...Read 11 Reviews

Parent: Our children are in their 2nd year of preschool at St. Luke. Not only are the teachers and staff amazing, loving and dedicated, we particularly appreciate the Covid safety protocols that are in place to keep everyone safe. The sense of community is very strong. We've witnessed, first hand, the help offered to others when it's needed. There is a solid partnership between the staff and St. Luke families. We can't recommend St. Luke School enough!...Read 6 Reviews
