  28. Lincoln Christian School

    • Private School
    • Lincoln, NE
    • PK, K-12
    • 50

    Senior: As a high school athlete, it is imperative that I balance my academics with my athletic training. Lincoln Christian has allowed me to do my best in both sports and school to the point that I am confident in my future success as a college student. I also have been encouraged by many of my fellow peers to get involved not only in sports, but also in other extra-curricular activities. I have gained a larger perspective on leadership being involved with National Honors Society and a Class Representative in the Student Council.Because of the work ethic required to do well in school -- such as homework integrity and accountability on exams-- I believe that I am prepared to apply that work ethic in college. Lincoln Christian's academics do not allow for the minimum results, our curriculum demands excellence in all we do. Also, I am proud to be a part of Lincoln Christian's reputation for having the highest ACT score average in Lincoln, Nebraska!

    #24 Best Public Elementary Schools in Lincoln Area

    Parent: Roeper is an elite school for gifted students, and they live up to that reputation. The curriculum at the elementary school (domes) is project-based, and very effective. My daughter loves going to school every day, she loves the friends she has made and especially admires her teachers. It's a very friendly and close group of students who learn a variety of subjects. Every day a student is picked to be a leader, building confidence and presentation skills. Te parents also form a bond and usually meet outside the school settings and end up knowing one another very well.

    Nysmith School for the Gifted

    • Private School
    • Herndon, VA
    • PK, K-8
    • 5

    Alum: Our 3 kids attended Nysmith from pre-K to 8th grade and it was the best decision of our lives! They never wanted to miss a day of school, because Nysmith knows how to make learning fun. Our kids went on to a great high school (TJ), that was perfect for their math/science/technology interests, and attended their #1 college choices. They were not only ready academically after Nysmith, but they were also happy and confident. The teachers, who are experts and passionate about the subjects they teach, treated the kids with kindness and respect, welcomed their questions, nurtured their curiosity, and helped my kids discover their gifts and abilities - sometimes before they even knew what they were. I highly recommend Nysmith. Or, better yet, don't listen to me...look at their website, see how their alums are doing, schedule a tour and a couple of student visit days for your child. See for yourselves what Nysmith is all about!

    Parent: Flint Hill is a lovely school, and I have been surprised by how down-to-earth the culture is, despite the price tag and rigorous college prep environment. Kids really get what they need in an individualized way, we have been thrilled with the school, having had 2 kids attend for almost a decade now!
