Junior: I enjoyed some of the aspects of the school, however I wish the students were nicer. It was hard to get along with many of the students. I enjoyed having a dorm for the first time, but it wasn’t anything to call home about. I was lucky enough to have my own dorm, because they weren’t the biggest. I’ve really enjoyed my humanities class this year. My teacher (Phineas) is one of the best teachers if not the best teacher I’ve ever had. Some of the teachers however, weren’t so nice. In conclusion, the school was a mix of good and bad during my time there.... Read 20 reviews

Senior: Central Catholic is an excellent high school. I have learned so much in the classroom and also about supporting others. The classes are challenging. The teachers support the students to succeed. This school is like a family. The service projects I have been involved with have taught me compassion and the importance of helping others in need. Playing sports has been such a valuable experience. I have learned discipline and how great it is to be a part of a team.... Read 61 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

Senior: East Richland Christian School is a wonderful and amazing school for all ages. While the food isn’t great, the chairs are a little squeaky, and the floors a little dirty, the overall culture and teacher experience makes up for all of that. When you go to school rarely do teachers care about your personal lives. But, at ERCS teachers want to come along side of you in meetings, small groups, and positive interactions. This creates a very warm environment among the students and teachers. However, problems still arise. Sometimes the student body gets pitted against the administration, and I would like to see unity arise and overcome all in my school.... Read 19 reviews

Senior: Union Local has an amazing atmosphere. Everyone is very friendly and no one is left out. Even though the atmosphere is great the teaching is just average or below. Some teachers are very good and the test scores show it but others just are there to get paid. The sports are very involved with the community and are very proud of the players. The administration is very involved with the students but not always do what is best. The school is a very safe place to be physically and emotionally. Everyone must go through a metal detector to enter the school and everyone is very friendly after you enter.... Read 30 reviews

Alum: Veritas School is academically rigorous, which prepares students for college. They stick to the Classical Christian method very well. Students read so many great books and are taught how to write and speak well. The teachers are wonderful. They really care about the students and focus a lot on building good relationships with the students. They have a lot of great options for music and the arts. Students are given the option between choir, strings, and lots of different types of art (things like ceramics and painting). The athletics are pretty good for Veritas being a smaller school. Their XC teams won the DII State Championship. Veritas just got a new soccer field. The campus is beautiful and very well taken care of.... Read 26 reviews
