Parent: My girls have been in FSA for 4 years and just started their high school journey. This is an amazing school with great academics, engaging faculty and administrative team, and wonderful hardworking students. It’s also a super safe environment where all culture and diverse background are celebrated and cohabiting harmoniously. Academic competition does exist but in a friendly and positive manner. My girls constantly review and study with their friends prior to tests and exams. Students also share notes, learning tips, and even offer to help their classmates on subjects they have advanced knowledge of. The school is also working really hard on sports teams and trying to expand the art program. Student clubs and leadership opportunities are abundant and academic competition is a must for everyone. My girls have grown into confident and hardworking young adults in this super safe environment. Will recommend the school!... Read 74 reviews

Parent: It has been a few weeks since our youngest graduated from Walker and I have had the time and energy to reflect on all that the school has meant to our daughter, our son, and to us as parents. We are so grateful to have had our children at a school with so many amazing role models. Teachers who are experts in their fields AND love young people- what a gift! Coaches who cared about our kids on and off the field/court- you shaped who they are! You challenged our children and you loved on them and we can't thank you enough. And thanks to the other families who shared their lives (and the ups and downs of parenting) along the way. Bar and Bat Mitzvahs, Diwali celebrations, church mission events, backyard picnics, and simple conversations in the parking lot- all of these moments added to our family's experience as well. Thank you, Walker. You showed us that middle school and high school are not just phases to be endured but times to be celebrated. You taught our children well!... Read 102 reviews

Junior: The school is great for academics and college prep. There are many opportunities to involve yourselves in and so many activities around the school. But I will say the school lacks diversity. Mostly among the student body but also within coaches. Administration seems to be making the efforts but their is not much change. Some of coaches do feel a little prejudice or favoritism based but overall the sports community is good. Clique like systems are inevitable at any private school because they are smaller but our school personally isn’t as bad then what I have heard at similar private schools. I would definitely recommend this school to others in hopes of college prep and taking on rigorous classes.... Read 190 reviews

Parent: Our daughter joined in middle school. The school offers a personalized family feel experience where they truly care about your child and family. Our daughter is academically challenged and thriving. There is a strong sense of values respected by the students. The friendships created are strong and the leadership and exceptional character of the kids shows inside and outside of school. Pinecrest's motto "Always Higher" challenges their students, parents, staff and faculty to strive for excellence - intellectual, spiritual, human and apostolic. This shows through the actions and behaviors of their students, staff and families. Also, Pinecrest assembled an impressive task force of COVID-19 professionals and resources in order to provide safe in person learning. They have done an outstanding job communicating and setting expectations and requirements. This is a partnership between families and the school and we are making it happen. We are proud to be part of the Pinecrest Academy family!... Read 128 reviews

Senior: I have been attending The Galloway School for 15 years, and I wouldn't trade that time for the world. I believe it is an exceptional school with exceptional people. Teachers are always willing to talk with students or offer help when needed. Students are friendly to each other and create a loving school culture. I feel very prepared for college!...

Senior: Wesleyan has provided growth opportunity and guidance to ensure I will excel in college and beyond. The campus is beautiful and there are lots of activities to get involved in. There are many ways to serve in the community through mission trips, and outreach. The schools motto is JOY which stands for JESUS -Others-yourself, this is the key to a life of service and brotherly love as is the biblical way to share life.... Read 111 reviews

Alum: Like any other high school student you can always find things to complain about, but looking back a few years post grad I realize how truly lucky I am to have received an education of this quality. Compared to my college peers, I was better prepared to face and conquer college level courses. While friends were struggling with the pace and rigor of the transition into college I was able to balance my social, work, and educational lifestyle with relative ease over my 4 years. I firmly believe that you cannot find more phenomenal educators, facilities, or level of college preparation anywhere in the Atlanta area. Finally beyond the “teen misery” of high school, I will always look back at my Marist days with a familiar fondness and profound gratitude.... Read 147 reviews

Alum: Milton High School is the epitome of a truly well-rounded high school experience. The administration advertises the school as a "triple-A school," claiming the equal presence of Arts, Academics, and Athletics. As a student, I can confirm this is an extremely accurate description. I participated in the chorus program all four years, took high-level and superb quality academic courses, and competed with the equestrian for four years as well, acting as captain for two of those years. In my spread across different realms of the school, I am not unique as there are plenty of students who do the same. We are/were supported by the school from all sides, and no element of the school seems overshadowed by another; both the theater and football teams have won state championships or competitions, and students are sent to international science fairs and HOSA competitions yearly just to name a few accolades....

Parent: Academically, we love the approach to learning and assessment. Teachers give detailed feedback and assess with a rubric. Students know what’s expected in advance. Our oldest (who can be an overachiever) keeps working to achieve the "advanced" description. Our youngest (who can be comfortable doing the minimum) can see how to keep working and stretch. From a community standpoint, we love that MV values diversity of thought, backgrounds, and experiences. Our children are learning to find connections and celebrate differences. Lastly, we love the school norms: start with questions, assume the best, share the well, fail up, and have FUN! In February we were away for a long weekend with another family who attends a school out of town. Their children’s holiday was one day longer than ours and we had to leave early. We thought our children would be upset to miss a day of the trip and were shocked when our youngest responded, “honestly, it’s really okay, I actually like school.” Thank you MV!... Read 112 reviews

Parent: We have absolutely loved our time in the Lower School at Mt. Pisgah. Jennifer Scott, the Head of the Lower School is absolutely amazing. She is kind and inspiring when addressing the parents and students at events and productions. Mt. Pisgah provides a positive learning environment for children to learn and grow. Each teacher is very positive and you feel that your child is loved and valued for who they are and where they are in their academic pursuits. Correspondence and meetings with teachers show that the teachers know your child well, have established strong relationships with the child, and are able to assess your child's strengths and areas for growth. The curriculum is rigorous, yet copious amounts of homework are not given. Our child is able to have a well balanced . There are many extracurricular activities offered at Pisgah, and these too are top notch. MCPS is a very warm and supportive Christian school, with strong academics. We highly recommend this school.... Read 35 reviews

Parent: My daughter is a rising freshman and has had a sensational 8th grade year at Brandon Hall. She attended community service projects in Bermuda and the Bahamas this year. Her immersion into the multicultural environment at school and in the community has increased her confidence and self esteem. The teachers and administrators support the students both academically and personally. The boarding school program is well structured to include study hall in the evening and planned group activities on the weekends and evenings. Overall, I am extremely satisfied with our students experiences at Brandon Hall!... Read 123 reviews

Parent: During the corona crisis, when schools were shut down, GACS did not miss a beat. Within 48 hours GACS had their digital learning environment up and working. Not fumbling, not "we will figure it out as we go", up and kids learning from day one. My kids were even impressed with their school. Why were they able to do this? They are a cohesive team of administrators, teachers, faculty, counselors, etc. who hold themselves to a highter standard. If everthing you do is for the glory of God, the end result can be pretty amazing!... Read 292 reviews

The teachers give their hearts into their job and I have been able to form strong connections with most of my teachers. The work is pretty challenging but you can kind of choose how much you take on. The community feeling is like no other and it is super easy to get involved in various campus activities. Definitely send your kid to Weber!... Read 15 reviews

Parent: Opened in 2016 & formerly known as Rivers Academy Atlanta, Capstone is academically rigorous, passionate about students having a balanced life & teachers who are committed to going above & beyond to offer the most well-rounded educational experience possible. The honors level academics are challenging & require a student to be committed to their studies. The 3 day school week is tailored to allow students with outside passions to have time to pursue athletics, acting, music, independent studies & anything else that makes your child who they are! The school is intentionally small to allow for a close knit community. Families thrive knowing their student is developing their academic curiosity, becoming critical thinkers & establishing lifelong relationships with their friends and teachers. Capstone is quickly becoming the school of choice for families looking to break free of the traditional one size fits all approach to school! It’s a game-changer!... Read 12 reviews

Alum: Though the students weren't the best (in fact, I often isolated myself because I felt I didn't "fit in"), the staff and faculty were the most supportive bunch of people—some of the best ones I've had in my life. When things got tough, I knew I could always walk into the counselors' hall, greet the desk associate, Ms. Deb, hold a conversation with her, and wait for my school counselor to let me into her office. Some people feel as though they can't express their true personality or their struggles to their teachers, etc., but I find that's not the case for me, which is something I've 100% come to appreciate....

Parent: We just LOVE this school! Growing up going to a very high end private school I never thought we could get more out of charter school but ICSA is the best of the best! The staff and teachers here truly care about the students and the education they provide is second to none! Our daughter was ahead of the curve at her last school in California so we were looking for a language school to enhance her educational portfolio and keep her engaged in school, well ICSA did just that! Being new to the area the families at ICSA have been a very welcoming addition to our new surroundings. I can not speak highly enough of the school- their well rounded approach to education and raising whole children, the staff - great communication, engaging teaching styles, and the families that make this place a stellar community to be part of!...

Senior: I enjoyed my 4 years at Blessed Trinity greatly. The school challenged me in my academics where I succeeded and ended up where I want to be. I was involved in many clubs all 4 years and ended up on the leadership teams! I was a Fundraising Coordinator for Habitat for Humanity, a Publicist for Titans of Mercy, and an Orientation Leader for incoming freshmen! I also was in the dance department where a family was created! I started in Advanced Dance and moved up to Dance Company, and was also on the dance team for all four years! I would not trade my 4 years at Blessed Trinity for anything!... Read 222 reviews

Alum: Alliance prepared me for college. The teachers were nice and efficient. Especially the specialized teachers for the Legal Pathway and the Graphic Design pathway. The best thing about Alliance is how the school made the students feel connected and have a sense of community. There were dozens of opportunities to be engaged. From clubs to academic organizations, Alliance offered a well rounded high school experience. If there was one thing I would improve, it would be to add more microwaves in the cafeteria. Being a specialized school, there are no sports. One other thing that could be improved would be to offer extracurricular, after school sports at the local parks and recs.... Read 19 reviews

Alum: The teachers really care about every individual! They always took the time to talk with me one-on-one and make sure that I was doing okay not just academically but emotionally. It is so easy to become a leader in the school from starting your own club to being captain of a team to becoming editor of the newspaper or yearbook. Additionally, you can't help but feel the tight-knit community at AJA. Everyone knows everyone and has each others' backs. Everyone sings together on Friday at Shabbos Dancing and cheers like crazy at basketball games on Saturday nights. One thing that I think they could work on is instead of changing everything each year (school uniform went from needing logos on everything which cost a lot to not needing logos to not having any uniform at all). Rather, they should just focus on making sure what is already in place is working. Another thing they could improve is getting rid of horrible teachers sooner or at least letting students change classes more easily.... Read 29 reviews
