Alum: If there’s anything I could recommend middle school students who are interested in ECA, it’s go for it! I was an early graduate (4 years rather than 5) and the experience was amazing! ECA has truly allowed me to flourish under rigorous circumstances and helped me feel prepared for my college career. I was able to get 2 Associates degrees (A.A & A.S) and made it into my dream school! Of course, this was not just handed to me, but if students are willing to put in the effort, they can most definitely be very successful. In other words, I do not believe a traditional high school would have prepared me as much as ECA!... Read 113 reviews

Junior: I am a student at Clayton High School and my experience so far with them has been pretty good. They have unique elements in their school routine that benefit all students, especially academically struggling students. There is a lot of freedom in terms of your class schedule, lunchtimes, and extra help in many subjects. Teachers and faculty are nice and respectful, as well as enjoy teaching to the students, making the overall experience great. Security is a big thing they focus on and students carry an ID card to get in and out of buildings safely. One thing I would change about the school would be remodeling or fixing broken things like some bathroom stalls and some classrooms. I also think they should expand their school and add another section because there is a lot of overcrowdedness in the hallways, making it hard to transition between classes sometimes....

Parent: We simple love GMS. My husband and I are continually impressed by how well the teachers know our children. We laughed and cried when we read their first report. A lot of emphasis was put on manners and life skills; Things that you need to learn any other subjects. They have met them where they are and scaffold their learning. It has a small family feel. Each classroom is a part of a larger community and everyone in the staff makes you feel welcome. Our children are learning to love learning. The classrooms are inviting, organize, simple yet complex, filled with different works that children get to explore at their own rhythm. GMS is academically, emotionally and socially nurturing!...

Works Here: Daughters have attended Powhatan. I have worked at the school for over 10 years. Powhatan is a community school and the state holders are very involved in the school. PTA is a strong community. It would be nice if Teacher assistants did not have to drive buses. Taking them away from the classroom negatively impact the entire school. Administration has changed over the years. It is imperative that the administration continues to communicate with the student/parent population.... Read 2 reviews

Senior: This year is my graduating year. I am sad that I am leaving such a great school. I have heard many things of this school (mostly bad) but I go to school there, I experience it, and I say it’s perfect. It truly depends on who you hang out with, and if you go to school to learn. Every student is different, which I love, it’s very hard to feel out of place when there is a school that is very diverse... such as SSS. All the teachers I have had these past 4 years have been AMAZING! They’ve all taught me not only school subjects but taught me about life, and how it can throw you around sometimes but you can and will always get back on your feet. I will greatly miss SSS ... This school will forever hold a special place in my heart, once a spartan, always a spartan!... Read 188 reviews

Junior: Rochambeau, French International school is an amazing place to spend your highschool years. Enriched by a multi-cultural student body, Rochambeau has the mix of rigorous academia and a fun social life. The school is primarily taught in French, following the Baccalaureate curriculum. Students are given the option of classes they wish to develop as their "specialties': these include Humanities, Philosophy and French Literature, Social Economic Science, Political Science, Physics, Biology, and Maths. Most teachers are extremely insightful and engaging, and show off an extremely impressive resume from working at international schools around the world. One disadvantage that the school has would maybe be it's limited class size (200 in whole highschool) However, this could be considered a good thing as most students are really close.Overall, the bi-lingual education that is offered with the IB system serves as extremely good preparation to college, while still being a formative experience....

Parent: My daughter began attending St. Bernadette School in the 7th Grade following our move to Northern Virginia. We couldn't be more pleased with her experience. The teachers, staff, student and parents are dedicated, kind, and caring. They helped her transition to a rigorous Catholic education, including first-time instruction in religion, grammar, cursive, and Spanish. The school is part of a vibrant parish; the priests are about campus and in the classroom. St. Bernadette School is Catholic education at its best!... Read 34 reviews
