#1 Best Public Elementary Schools in Allentown Area
Niche User: Jaindl Elementary School is a great school! From the academics to the extra-curricular activities, there are no flaws to this school. Plus, if you go above and beyond to school curriculum, you are eligible to take tests such as the jumper math (skip a grade in math), and gifted (go to a class which covers math, LA, creativity, technology, and more).

#1 Best Public Middle Schools in Allentown Area
Senior: Springhouse Middle School houses grades sixth through eighth in the Parkland School District. Being that sixth grade students and eighth grade students are very different in maturity both physically and morally, this school did a good job at accommodating that. The sixth grade students are semi-isolated from the other grades so they can adjust to how middle school is. However, one aspect of Springhouse Middle School that I was not as fond of is the team teaching concept. Each year students are placed into a team. Within this team, there is a handful of teachers that teach the students their core classes. Although this is convenient, I feel that it inhibits the students ability to communicate and network with other students that are not in their team.

#1 Best Public High Schools in Allentown Area
Alum: There were nice teachers at this school with the exception of a few. Some worked with you to get the grade you deserved. The school was big but not big enough. Halls were crowded after the bell rang. Some teachers were too strict on late policies. It takes long to get from one class to another. The food and vending machines were mediocre, some of the best were the salads and specialties. School store was cool but I realized that late. Parking lot is a problem. Needs more entrances and exits. Sometimes takes 20 min to leave. School was filled with amenities and technology. Had 2 large pools and many sports fields. Prepared me well for college opposed to other local schools. Weight room seemed outdated 3 years ago when I was there. Teachers were very involved in things, that was a plus! I wish some of the administrators would do more to help students in financial need.

Parent: We have had nothing but a great experience at Kernsville. They helped my son transition in the middle of the school year into their district and were so accommodating and helpful! We love being apart of Kernsville Elementary. Staff is all incredible!

Alum: Academically, very on the ball. However, the staff could be extremely inappropriate towards the students in regards of the dress code or student etiquette. It felt as though there were teachers looking to get students in trouble at times.

Freshman: Overall, my experience at SLMS was very good. I believe that while the classes are informative, I was not prepared sufficiently for high school by the middle school. The teachers are very good as well.

#3 Best Public High Schools in Allentown Area
Alum: Southern Lehigh’s honors and AP classes really got me ready for college, the transition from high school to college was really smooth because I had already taken hard AP/honors classes at SL. Ironically the regular or ”college prep” level classes I took, did not have prepared me.
Southern Lehigh has a lot going on and it’s well funded, sports, music, arts, etc...
The new administration has had a positive impact on the school as well. They have undoubtedly caused some issues for me personally though.
It is undoubtedly a good school in terms of education and activities but it has some work to do in other aspects.

#4 Best Public High Schools in Allentown Area
Senior: The teachers are excellent, and technology integration is very good. Friendly and open environment as well, with many opportunities available to students. On the flipside, my personal experience with counselors has been middling, and it is difficult to contact them for information and help with issues unless one has scheduled an appointment with them in the office. I've also seen drugs passed around and talked about casually in school, despite campaigns against them. The school has recently been focusing on its athletics program too, and has been pouring money in that direction. We'll see how it goes.

Middle School Student: I've had a very good experience my first year of being a student here, that can mostly be directed back to the teachers. They are very helpful and supportive people, but they're not afraid to enforce rules. This is why I believe I have done so well in this school district.

Oneness-Family School
Private School
Chevy Chase, MD
PK, K-12

Parent: Oneness Family School is that rare institution that excels at giving its students not only a superior substantive education but also trains them to be fulfilled, responsible and ethical members of society! The school is extremely diverse with students from nearly 100 countries of all racial, ethnic, religious and other persuasions. It is a true Montessori education committed to learning at each student’s own pace, self-discovery, mutual respect and community. The teachers and staff love their jobs and the students. Amidst all the excellent public and private school choices in the DC-MD-Va region, Andrew Kutt has built a world-renowned school in our backyard. The expansion to include a high school means local students can thrive throughout their primary and secondary education. Every parent should consider OFS for his or her child.

St. Stephen's and St. Agnes School
Private School
Alexandria, VA
PK, K-12

Parent: We have experienced the lower, middle, and upper schools and our children have had extraordinary teachers who have taken the time to get to know and appreciate them as individuals. Small class size (around 16 kids per class) contributes to this, but it’s just as much about the genuine interest and care that they show our children. Every time our teenagers rave about their teachers at dinner (a frequent occurrence!) my wife and I feel so fortunate that the strong connections they formed with teachers in the Lower School have been replicated in the other divisions. Our kids have different strengths and interests and they have each found a home and great friends through academics, the arts and athletics. Speaking of the arts, our daughter was so excited to watch the Tonys with friends and then learn that next year’s theater/arts trip to NYC will include seeing Hadestown and having dinner with the cast!

Niche User: Incredible faculty. Great school for both academics and sports. A diversity of strengths for well-rounded students that simply can’t be matched by other private schools in Northern Virginia. Students genuinely support each other, even after they become alumni. It’s not uncommon for alumni to return from prestigious universities to share how well the school prepared them for the academic challenges ahead. Also, the robotics program is literally world class!
