Sophomore: John Handley High School is full of pride. The teachers and administration have worked extremely hard during the COVID-19 pandemic to provide everyone the best educational experience as possible. From the first day of the school year, students could choose 100% distance or a hybrid model. Unlike many other surrounding school districts, Handley allowed students to be fluid in their selection. If a student chose 100% distance and then wanted to change to hybrid, this change could be done and visa versa. All classes are taught synchronously with all learners at home or school being taught at the same time with live streaming. This has allowed for collaboration and continued group work. There are many clubs and organizations to help increase student involvement. Our athletics programs are strong and get a lot of student body and community support.... Read 153 reviews

Parent: My son is finishing his second year at Mountain View. It was hard to find a school that taught good morals and also had a great academic program. The teachers at this school are encouraging and loving to their students yet they still have a great discipline system. I love the smaller class size. I feel my child gets more one on one attention and I see where the teachers are able to do more hands-on crafts, experiments, and activities. One of my favorite things about this school is the encouragement of parental involvement. The parent-teacher relationships are amazing and you can visibly see that throughout the school. I am thankful to have found a safe and encouraging environment to send my son!... Read 13 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

Niche User: Most teachers go above and beyond to form positive relationships with students, and some even volunteer their time to work with students after school. The PTO does a great job of supporting students and teachers, and the administration promotes a positive atmosphere by working hard to ensure a safe environment and high quality instruction for students. The building is very clean and has undergone a renovation, but there are some minor signs of wear and tear, such as leaky ceilings and cracking floor tiles. The building's architecture is much prettier than the average middle school, as it used to be a high school. Thus it has an old fashioned auditorium complete with a balcony, and a very large, two story high library with multi-paned, floor to ceiling windows.... Read 4 reviews

Alum: I recently graduated from ISW and will be attending college in the fall. I received excellent prep (from ISW) throughout my application process. I felt supported every step of the way. They did such a great job that I was not only accepted everywhere I applied (5 schools) but I also received huge scholarships. I will now be able to go through a college experience without going bankrupt. Their support of the application process throughout COVID-19 was amazing. Additionally, I was very satisfied with the online schooling! My memories of ISW will always be incredibly warm and close to my heart. I attended for almost ten years. The staff is unwaveringly dedicated to education as well as the wellbeing of each and every student. I always felt at home with both the teachers and the other students. Also, the current building is getting more beautiful each day! Team Alum (self-included) has been brought in to spruce up the property, and I think we’re doing pretty well!... Read 8 reviews

Works Here: As someone who has worked here for many years and has witnessed the transition to a new head of school, I grateful to be part of this school. Field has stayed true to its mission of knowing every student and has stayed committed to its core values through the years. We have shifted to more Project Based Learning which has enhanced, even more so than before, the skills of collaboration, problem-solving and critical thinking. With support from teachers, coaches and advisors, students continue to grow in their academic independence and as self-advocates. I am also thrilled that we are able to continue our 2-week internship program, now Winter Intersession, which has expanded even more to intensive on-campus programming. There is a lot to be excited about at Field!... Read 46 reviews
