Alum: It's fairly rare that you find this much diversity in a public school in the middle of Indiana. For one, the teachers are amazing--for the most part. A majority of the teachers are very experienced and care greatly about their student's learning and wellbeing. However, there are also many teachers at the school who don't exactly inspire their students to want to learn. Many of these teachers find themselves in "non-honors" classroom settings. Their students are put in a difficult situation since they aren't encouraged to learn, and they are less likely to pursue high-level classes, so they are less likely to enjoy the brilliance of many teachers at the school. The culture at South is hard to summarize, which is indicative of its diversity. Students come from many different backgrounds, and I was exposed to a wide variety of viewpoints during my time there. The school is an intersection of people from the rural midwest and folks born and raised in the liberal college town of Indiana.... Read 326 reviews

Senior: What I like most about Bloomington High School North is the various amount of classes you are able to take. Not only are required classes fun, and taught by great teachers but the extracurriculars are too. I have heard great things about the Hoosier Hills Career Center here, which is basically a way to prepare you for life after high school if you're not planning on going to college, or if you'd like to have a side gig, but I never got to personally experience it. Some things I'd like to change is the current administration, and how they treat some teachers and students. It is completely ridiculous to see how they have favorites, and how bad they treat others.... Read 308 reviews

Junior: The Graduation school is very stigmatized in Bloomington, Indiana. It's considered the "bad" child school because it is the school youll get sent to if your bad at one of the other schools, but I personally chose to go to this school instead of being sent here and the teachers here are some of the most helpful, and understanding teachers I've ever had. And many of the teachers here do have to deal with children not wanting to do their work which could cause tension between student and teacher because they have to have a power control over us, but teachers here try very hard to stay calm and help you finish your work on time and in a good fashion. I believe that this school genuinely cares for its students and focuses on getting them through high school to the next point.... Read 3 reviews

Senior: I personally love my school. The teachers are so supportive and caring and are all really good at their jobs. However, I would personally like to see our school be more inclusive. Our diversity here is low, which results in lots of students using racial or overall discriminatory slurs both at school and outside of it. Helping to make our school more inclusive would help to make our schools' small minority population feel more welcome.... Read 59 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 47 reviews

Parent: Our first year at Immanuel has been an awesome experience. It connected us to an amazing community and education for our kids. My kindergartner was immediately embraced and supported, and my preschooler is eager to go to school every day. They’ve both grown so much this year, and our family has benefited as well! The Christian environment means they focus on what our family values most, but it’s just one of the many reasons we’re thankful to have our kids at Immanuel. While other schools are cutting music and arts, Immanuel continues to see the benefits of these programs. My kids are excelling in areas I never would’ve been expecting. I love hearing about what they’re learning and seeing the new projects they’re working on. The teachers are committed and so caring. I feel good about sending my kids here each day.... Read 7 reviews
