Parent: My daughter started attending Scattergood as a freshman and it has been the best experience for her academically, socially and for her mental health as well! She is challenged academically, accepted for who she is at Scattergood and flourishes as a person. She has a wonderful and diverse group of friends. When coming back from a weekend at home as we pulled into the driveway, she said - "It's Scattergood, my favorite place in the world." We couldn't be more pleased with this school and are certain of the positive impact it will have on our daughter for the rest of her life...Read 37 Reviews

Parent: Regina has provided a solid educational experience for our child. The teachers go above and beyond to make sure the students are challenged and learning what they need to that will help them succeed at their next level. They also have a deep level of caring and compassion for each student - we have been amazed at the level of support and community...it is so strong here. There are many opportunities to get involved in multiple activities - arts, athletics, clubs and service. There is truly something for anyone. We feel very comfortable with the level of building safety and security and are impressed with the high level of integrity among the students finding /returning lost items. We would encourage anyone seeking a positive educational experience to look closer at Regina!...Read 85 Reviews

Parent: As a teacher who has taught 12 years in a public school setting, I would have never imagined choosing private school for my sons. After a tough year in kindergarten, my oldest son struggled and didn’t show much academic progress due to large class size. After much thought, I realized that a smaller class size is what he needed to cultivate the best learning environment...After researching all the available private schools here in Southern Frederick County, I was dismayed by the few options nearby. After thoughtful consideration, Barnesville fulfilled all of my expectations as a teacher parent. It provided small class sizes, a great amount of time spent outside, many cross-curricular learning opportunities, and a strong community. The teachers are extra caring and it was evident during our time distance learning. If you are looking for a school that offers meaningful relationships where your child is given many opportunities to grow and learn, Barnesville is for you!...Read 12 Reviews

Alum: This school builds a better communal atmosphere than any school in the area. The academics are at a good level: teaching kids hard work and keeping them honest in their work. This is the best elementary/middle school in all of Cedar Rapids, in my opinion. This school is especially designed well for kids who have big dreams and are willing to learn the self-discipline needed to achieve these dreams...Read 1 Review

Parent: We enrolled our son in Fork Union Military Academy after seeing so many YouTube videos that touted the benefits of the one-subject program and the school. The promise of focus, structure, and accomplishment came through. He passed all his classes in this, his first year, a sophomore at FUMA...We took advantage of their academic success program. There he found continuous support and cheers! They found novel approaches to reach him, took the time to learn about him, and flexed their approaches. I have been concerned in the past about the ability of teachers who are not Black to 'see my son' as an individual. At FUMA, they know him, challenge him to be his best, hold him accountable, and motivate him...I am proud of what he has done this year. As a testament to the place, he is looking forward to going back in the Fall - he's proud that he's earned a promotion in rank and knows he can do even better academically. Amazing...Read 98 Reviews
