Parent: I daughter has been at NC for 3 years and is doing great academically and socially! She loves the small class size, the ability to take Honors and AP a classes to challenge herself and the opportunity to play a sport. I also like that the teachers know her and me personally and make themselves available even after school. They also support the Catholic faith.... Read 88 reviews

Parent: Haine has been a great elementary school experience so far. My children have both been there since kindergarten and are in 4th and 2nd grades now. I do wish there were some after school activities (only homework club right now for 4th graders). Also, though security is tight and they do their best, one thing still bothers me. There are parents in that school and on field trips and they have not submitted clearances. In this day and age I think that is a must. I have mine and expect everyone else to have theirs....

Middle School Student: A lot of these reviews are very rude towards the school, but the school has changed a lot for the better. The food is alright but the faculty is AMAZING. We finally have a guidance counselor and she's the best. Everyone is very inclusive and it feels much safer than before. The dress code is now gender-neutral and there aren't any weird uniforms. MMI Is doing great with covid, we've only had 3 recorded cases In the past two years, and you feel accepted here. The food isn't expensive and the building is very clean. I'd say it's a great school. Although it's expensive, there aren't money-hungry people anymore. I was bullied and the situation was taken care of almost immediately. Definitely has gotten better. The sports teams still aren't that big and the clubs aren't great but I really enjoy my school experience here so far. It's very tech-based, lots of homework but it's fun.... Read 57 reviews

Junior: Although I am not completely finished with high school yet, Mars has been great. Mars has a wide variety of classes and some amazing teachers who have changed who I am for the better. No place is perfect, and Mars certainly isn't. Nevertheless, I am proud to call Mars my school. I previously went to a different school about an hour away, and it had far less opportunities than Mars. I am so grateful for my time here that has allowed me to grow as a person and student....

Senior: I made a switch from Saint Kilian’s to Seneca Valley as I was going into 7th grade. It was a surprisingly easy transition! The teachers were very helpful and guided me along the way. There is such a variety of different personalities at Seneca Valley, so it was easy to find my crowd. It feels like I have been going to Seneca my entire life! I believe that I had an amazing high school experience here, even though it was difficult at times. Seneca Valley provided me with the tools to be successful not only in high school, but for the future, too. The school also provides laptops for every student, along with a personal student account. This makes it very easy to access school work and share it with teachers, as well as other students. My college application process has been heavily guided by Seneca Valley and the opportunities they give to students here. I could not imagine going to high school anywhere else!... Read 90 reviews

Parent: Our kids chose to transfer to PCS from public school when they were entering 9th (daughter) and 10th (son) grades. It was truly a life changing experience for our entire family. Not only did our entire family grow in our faith, but our kids received an excellent education that prepared them well for college. Both were accepted into their first choice college with transferrable credits they earned while attending PCS. They were well prepared academically for the rigors of the college classroom and spiritually for the challenges of a more secular environment. This little picturesque school on the hill holds such a special place in our hearts. We'd recommend it to any family looking for a Christian school with a strong academic reputation....

Senior: I transferred to Knoch my freshman year, overall everyone was friendly and welcoming, a very easy-going accepting place, friendships were made very organically. The majority of my teachers were very kind and patient, if you needed extra help they were eager to assist you. You could find tutoring from teachers and even fellow students were willing to help. Academically I say this school was well rounded. Changes I would like to see be made to Knoch would first start with the building and stadium itself which are going to start this following year. I highly recommend more diverse options in the cafeteria for those who have dietary restrictions and are not always able to pack their lunch daily. Fitting in additional courses alike Economics and Home Related Arts to help student better prepare for future responsibilities such as understanding taxes, loans, writing out checks… I very much so enjoyed my time at Knoch High and will cherish the relationships and memories I made along the way....

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
