My experience is based on four sons who had different personalities and talents and their needs were met and more. One in foreign languages, one in music, one in history and one in drama. It might have helped that my wife and I were actively involved in school activities also.

I was a former student at this school. Teachers are not effective and a lot of them seem inexperienced. They didn't really teach, just handed out packets to do. There were some good teachers, but most of them were mediocre and subpar. Teachers also favored certain students even if they were not worthy of a good grade. Especially the English department, they did not prepare me for college writing. They rewarded basic levels of writing that was below what advanced writing should be. A lot of teachers dumbed down the material and if you were to write above their basic standards, they would give you a lower grade. Multiple teachers I had got frustrated easily and did not take the time to teach. They seemed easily overwhelmed and did not do their job. Whenever I tried to meet them after school, they would ignore me and not show up at all. If they did meet me, it was only for a couple of minutes. Multiple teachers did this throughout my four years. When asked a question they would get frustrated and would not explain. Teachers rushed through material and didn't take the time to teach the new concepts. The counseling office didn't know how to help with the college process and did not give helpful information in regards to preparing us. Overall a below average experience.

We’ve been very pleased with the quality of the educators, the curriculum, and the overall atmosphere of the school. The newly updated facilities are also state of the art.

Excellent school! My husband and I are so glad we moved to this area when we were relocated to DC. My daughter can't say enough good things about it and feels right at home. The renovations are a nice bonus. It's gonna look incredible when finished. Two thumbs up
