Senior: Very good school — the best quality being the faculty, who are also vehemently supportive of students and will go out of their way to ensure student success. No child is left behind, and children are encourage in almost all endeavors. There is an intense and competitive academic culture, and a lack of diversity, but Canterbury is beginning to take steps to address these issues. Canterbury works to grow and teach the whole child, and enhance every area of their life — not only academics.... Read 102 reviews

Parent: I am the parent of a very active prek boy who loves to be outside, Oak Farm was the perfect fit for us! He can explore the woods and is encouraged to get dirty and learn by experience. The ability for him to work in different environments and not be seated at a desk all day is wonderful! The teachers/staff at Oak Farm all are welcoming and truly care for the students and families! The after school clubs are fantastic, our son can has enjoyed soccer shots right at school, which as busy parents is great! The beautiful campus and experiences in and out of the classroom are beyond compare! We love Oak Farm and so will you!... Read 33 reviews

Junior: Carroll is a nice school! It has many opportunities and work-based experience. For example, I'm in an interior design class and that's only one of many amazing electives. I truly believe they really try to help us get the experience we need and they expect a lot of us academically, in a good way. Most of the teachers are really good and try to care as much as they can while teaching 100+ kids a day. Our school is not perfect though. Some of the downsides include the size of the school; we are massive and only growing. It causes a feeling of drowning and feeling lost amongst a bunch sometimes. Others are that because it's a public school costs are cut and watching the teachers try to work around strict schedules is tough. I think Carroll High School is a great school like I said but, the American School System on the other hand, is not so much.... Read 600 reviews

Alum: As a HHS alum, I can confidently say that Homestead prepared me very well to accelerate at the college level and beyond, academically, professionally, and athletically. Homestead is not your typical public high school. The opportunities students are given to pursue their passions while receiving a strong baseline academically are endless. Getting involved in a club or group that interests you is easy! Staff and teachers are also passionate about what they do.... Read 743 reviews

Parent: The sense of family and involvement across the board has been wonderful. During the four years my daughter has went to school there, the teachers have been very involved. They care deeply for their students and will ensure they are put in a great environment for learning. The administration steps up for parents, students and teachers. Nothing but great things to say about Croninger.... Read 2 reviews

Senior: I have loved my time at CLHS. I made new friends quickly as a freshman, and still am friends with them as a senior. The teachers are wonderful and very helpful. I have also enjoyed my experience as a golfer. I think my best experience has been volunteering in the school office. I enjoy helping people, answering phones while thinking on my feet, and getting to know the faculty and staff. I think one of the worst experiences would be dealing with difficult people. I know I'll have that anywhere I go, but learning to treat difficult people with love is a tough thing to do. I would like to see the facilities continue to improve. Many things have already improved, like the gym and football field. I'm excited for the future for my high school!... Read 211 reviews

Middle School Student: I've had a very overall pleasant experience at Woodside. The cafeteria staff, teachers, and counselors have been extremely helpful and most, if not all of my teachers have been excellent, welcoming, and engaging. The food was extremely varied (before Covid-19) aswell. The one thing I would like to see in the future is better diversity. As a school, we have terrible diversity and I think that could be improved. Overall, Woodside is a great school!... Read 8 reviews
