Senior: West Nottingham Academy was my first boarding school and I have to say, I had a really good experience! I made friends really fast and everyone is so nice. They have you take classes for college readiness as a freshman, preparing for it and I think that is really smart. The classes are also small, so no one gets left behind. I have done more activities and visited more places than I would have in a public school. The food is so much better too!...Read 20 Reviews

Parent: We would easily rank this school five stars if it was based on teachers only. My main concern with the school is bus safety and bullying on the bus. I rank safety at two because I feel the bus and school should be included together as we are entrusting our children to them together. The academics are okay. The teachers try to give as much as they can, but as we all know public schools set the standards on how high or low you can go in the curriculum. Given what they have to work with, the teachers are doing a fantastic job...Read 1 Review

Senior: I love the teachers I have had! They’re so nice and open minded and care about my struggles. They are very patient when I struggle with the material and I always manage to catch up when I fall behind. Luckily it’s not often I do since they teach so well. They’re also very very nice and know how to talk to students. The only thing I’d change about Oxford Area High School is probably by adding more ethnicity of teachers but other than that it’s a great school!...Read 313 Reviews

Parent: Assumption BVM School is the home away from home for my children. I have had 2 children graduate and transition to high school very easily. Each was over-prepared for 9th grade! The teachers are passionate about their responsibilities- to educate the whole child, academically, spiritually, emotionally, and socially. There is financial aid for those who qualify and a great community of parents...Read 2 Reviews

Parent: BCS is a wonderful private school that provides a strong academic education. The teachers are nurturing and maintain consistent high standards. I love the fact that the students are able to focus on learning with no distractions and come home excited about what they are doing. I don’t need to worry about having to get on youtube to understand the “new math” methods because BCS keeps it challenging, traditional but most importantly relevant. I credit the teachers’ creative approaches with developing my girls’ love of science and math. They would be ready for any STEM program at the high schools. Additionally, the art program is quite impressive. The teacher starts the kids early and focuses on true technique. The quality of work is quite impressive in their annual art show. I highly recommend looking into the school if you want your kids prepared for the modern world...Read 1 Review

Parent: I believe Gwynedd Mercy Academy Elementary school is the best decision you can make. Our daughter has attended GMA for 9 years (since kindergarten), and she has become a confident, hard-working student who is very prepared to begin her journey as a high school student next year. The lower school offers a nurturing environment with a strong sense of community that provides a strong foundation for the students to achieve personal, social, and academic success. The strongest part of the school is definitely the middle school, which has an amazing group of teachers who create the perfect balance of challenging the students, and engaging in interactive teaching methods to bring out the best in each student. The overwhelming feedback from both high schools and parents of students who've graduated from GMA is that GMA students are consistently succeeding at the high school level due to the strong foundation they've received at GMA...Read 15 Reviews
