My children (now adults) graduated from Rockbridge. All 3 went on to graduate college. One is pursuing an advanced degree in mathematics, one graduated with an engineering degree from a well-regarded tech university. All three were well prepared to succeed at the collegiate level. All three continue to love and serve the Lord. Rockbridge is not for every student. Upper- school reading materials are high-level, so students who struggle to read dense materials may eventually feel like it is too hard. The school is good about helping to find a tutor, but that may not always be enough. The school has beefed up the science offerings, but even before this happened, my kids were prepared for their college classes. Take a look! We loved it.

Middle School parent here- Indian Creek is a truly welcoming environment focused on individual development vs simply rigorous academic or athletic competition. That being said we have found the academics to be excellent and the athletic opportunities adequate. We have appreciated the emphasis on caring and compassion. It’s quite honestly shocking to me that there is a review on here suggesting that rampant bullying. I come from a family of educators and have repeatedly questioned my kids on bullying and have found no evidence of it nor have any parents in our chat group mentioned it. A lot of ICS kids have been at the school since kindergarten all the way to middle school so if I were to find any fault it would be that it is a challenge for the kids that enter later to feel part of the group. On the flip side, it is evidence that families are happy with the school - many driving their kids from a considerable distance to attend. There is frequent family engagement and responsiveness.
