Alum: Linsly is a really special place. I'll always be grateful for the school's support of my family, and my parents' sacrifices, which allowed me to attend. Thinking back on my class, I can't think of a single student that would not say that Linsly had a profound effect on his or her life. I went from a shy, awkward 5th grader to a mature, confident, and well-adjusted senior. That was possible thanks to teachers who saw their jobs as 24/7, 365. That was thanks to a no cut/no quit sports policy, that helped me to get in top physical shape and excel as a teammate and, eventually, leader. Linsly prepares you for school -- and for life. I was surrounded by students from around the world in the boarding departments. And teachers were also from around the country and the world, providing much-needed diversity of perspectives...Read 83 Reviews

Senior: I have absolutely enjoyed my experience at WPHS. I have been a 4 year member of the football team and 3 year member of the lacrosse team. I’m also a National Honor Society member and am involved in community service activities. I feel that our teachers and staff really care about the safety and education of ALL students. I feel that we have resources available for any aspect of need, whether it be mental health, sports , tutoring, or college prep. We have a diverse group of students, diversity and inclusion is big in our high school!! In a very supportive way. I had to make a choice my 8th grade year, a choice between attending Wheeling Central Catholic or Wheeling Park High School . I’m so happy I chose WPHS!!! I have had the best experience!! It made me a better student, athlete, and all around person!!! I recommend this facility with NO reservations!!...5 Star!!!Read 226 Reviews

Parent: I have been going to Speiro Academy since I was in Kindergarten and I am so proudly to report that I am still attending Speiro Academy and intend on graduating from here. Speiro Academy has taught many things about leadership, team work, how to prepare myself for college and marriage. Speiro Academy is not a sports high school but we are more of a fine arts and academics school. I would not change anything about my school, I love my school dearly and I can't wait to see what this year has in stored for me!...Read 4 Reviews

Parent: My husband and I wanted an inclusive school that would be an extension of our family, and we found that in the Burgundy Community. We made the decision to send my son to Burgundy in JK and looking back now as he is in the midst of 2nd grade, choosing Burgundy was the best decision. Burgundy is a nurturing community that fosters the whole child, ensuring life long learners. Burgundy leans into a child's individual character and ensures every child is heard and has a voice. My son loves Burgundy and is thriving. I know without a doubt that Burgundy will lay the foundation for my son's continued success, not only in his future academic pursuits, but in life as a whole!...Read 10 Reviews

Junior: The Covenant School has a loving and welcoming Christian atmosphere that makes you feel at home. Being a smaller school, the class sizes are perfect for getting more personalized assistance. The teachers are always happy to help their students. I have made a small group of friends here who I'm very close to. Each grade does have their cliques or friend groups, but everyone socializes with other people as well. My few complaints are: ...1. There's no health or mental health class2. Some teachers are a little too open about their political opinions (LGBTQ+ views and more)3. Being a college preparatory school, the workload can be quite challenging, especially with required sports and electivesOverall, I highly recommend this school to all. I'm sure that once I graduate, I will look back with many fond memories.Read 33 Reviews
