Parent: Breitung Township Schools have amazing teachers and Staff. They truly care about the students and want them to excel in academics as well as sports. It's a very safe environment. The community, kids and staff take pride in their school. They offer AP courses for students to get college credits while attending High School. They also have college courses and are affiliated with the local community college. The teachers and counselors are there to help the students when they need help with school work. I am an alumni of Kingsford High School. I am proud to have my kids attending Kingsford High School.... Read 5 reviews

Senior: Overall, the school is a pretty good school that I enjoyed attending all throughout my high school and grade school career. The staff and facilities are both very good, but improvements could be made. Some of the staff teach excellently while others prefer to slack off. The athletic facilities are kept looking in peak condition while the art and music department are lacking care due to less involvement. Even if the art and music department has some nice facilities, it still is lacking involvement in all areas. The school does focus on tough academic studies that will prepare a student for college, and even are offering a couple college courses through a local college to students. Being that it’s located in a small area the school isn’t very diverse but does get a lot of support from the community.... Read 7 reviews

Parent: The curriculum is strong, with students working above grade level in many subjects. Teachers set high expectations and then help each child achieve those goals in a warm and nurturing environment. Each day students’ folders are filled with the work that they have completed so that parents can be informed of their child’s progress. Any obstacles are handled at early stages and the child is treated with the utmost respect every step of the way. The emphasis on STEAM is helping to prepare students for a successful future. Every member of the staff knows each kid--not only their names, but their individual personalities. Additional benefits of ACE include smaller class sizes, character development, a uniform that minimizes drama in the mornings, responsive staff, and an exceptional facility. I am confident that my children have a strong educational foundation and love of learning that will serve them well going forward.... Read 7 reviews

Alum: Iron Mountain was a great place to go to middle and high school. Throughout the 4 years I spent at the high school, I saw the creation of new sports team (baseball), increased funding towards facilities (remodeled all the science labs and bathrooms on the second and third floor), increased funding to the arts program including a large grant to the band which was used to buy new marching uniforms which I was extremely proud to be able to march in my senior year. Iron mountain has access to some of the best minds in education, and despite seeming like a normal student in highschool, I have noticed I am much better prepared than most of my college peers and friends, especially in math. While many students struggled to pass calculus and statistics, I felt well prepared for those classes, despite not being a particularly strong math student in high school.... Read 8 reviews

Parent: Parent of two students - one current, one just graduated. More than a school: a "community" we've been a part of since Kindergarten. Gotten better each year, and reassuring to see our kids go and leave school happy and enthusiastic every day! Very attentive, creative and engaged faculty and administration. Positive and supportive faith and values based environment. Hard to do everything as a smaller school, but what they do, they do exceptionally well. Small classes lead to a great learning environment, but naturally challenge extracurriculars and athletics. Excellent art and STEM. Interesting diversity from international students. Buildings and grounds are in great shape and constantly being improved. Our graduate will be attending one of the most competitive private HS in the region, and totally ready to go! Looking forward to launching #2. We are happy every day that we made the right decision 10 years ago. WES lives up to "Kind. Confident. Prepared." in every way.... Read 27 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 51 reviews
