There is a mean girl culture that is rampant at the school and it is well known throughout the Kensington community. Many families of past generations who went there say the same thing about the bullying that is allowed to happen and remains unchecked. It is an unwelcoming environment from parents,
Posted by a parent on 5/29/2026Overall, we have been in the school for 8 or so years. Most of the teachers we have had are very good (but not all). Some teachers are great. The only problem with the school is that it is really cliquey and is very political. There are certain families that tend to think they own the school because
Posted by a parent on 4/1/2019This is my 10th year at HR and my 3 kids have had a wonderful learning environment with great teachers/principal. I know my kids have developed a strong moral compass which will help guide them in all their future endeavors. Every kid is made to feel like a big fish in small pond in the very best wa

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageNot always safe, there is bulling and as a parent my daughter complained in middle school about bullying. The principal asked to have empathy for the bullies - there parents being out of the country - they were foreign exchange. Of course, I did not have empathy for those mean girls.While the last headmistress who es a nun was great, the current one is mercenary and only looking for star power (Katie Ledecky).I am mbkvalent. Class size was fine. Curriculum fine. An art teacher in middle school was absolutely useless.Parent Review8mo ago - Grace Episcopal Day School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI am a current parent at Grace. The school is a wonderful community that offers children a place to thrive. It is a hidden gem in the world of independent schools of the DMV. The tone for this caring community starts with its Head of School -Jennifer Danish who is actively engaged with the children and it cascades throughout the faculty. GEDS is also a community that brings families together.Parent Review1y ago - French International School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy child left this school last year. I was deeply alarmed by what became clear when she was enrolled at a new school. Her reading comprehension was abysmal, as was her spelling level for her age. And as for french, she knew basics but nothing beyond that! French relatives and online programming have taught them more. They also don't inform me of any issues with spelling or reading, even though I can see it in previous work. I should have paid more attention. That's my responsibility. But there's absolutely no excuse for this. Additionally, they weren't proactive in resolving bullying and gendered harassment our child experienced, and didn't stay the course in creating healthier emotional development. Don't invest in this school. If multi cultural, bilingual learning is important to you, or actually necessary, please seek other resources in Philadelphia, or the surrounding areas. Find french tutoring. Enroll them in local programs. I'm speaking from my heart, from my family experience, and I wish you and your family the best in making these very difficult decisions.Parent Review4mo ago - Grace Episcopal Day School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI love this school so much since it's a trilingual school once you reach 6th grade. The after school activities include theatre, basketball, volleyball, chess, running, swimming, soccer... The bus drivers are very nice towards everyone and if you have after school activities, you get picked up at 5:30.Student Review3y ago - Flora M. Singer Elementary School
