I would not recommend any parent send their child to this school. My daughter and niece were both there in 6th grade but my brother was smart and took my niece out immediately. My daughter started her 7th grade year there and I could not let her keep attending that school after only 4 days. The teac
Posted by a parent on 8/21/2026Exploris did not follow safety or learning for our children and they were/are not prepared academically. Exploris counselors did not help with IEP issues or behavior issues that were coming from another student and students parents directed toward one of our children. The dismissiveness from the Hea
Posted by a parent on 8/18/2026We have had nothing but a positive experience at Exploris over the past three years. The teachers and staff are incredibly caring and thoughtful, especially when it comes to supporting children through big emotions. They recognized when my girls needed extra help and made sure they received it, whic
Posted by a parent on 3/26/2026We went to Exploris for 2 years and left in the 25/26 school year. We should've left after Kindergarten after multiple physical endangerments but I thought each incident was a "one off" and could've happened anywhere. I realize now that it is not normal to pick up your child from school, crying and
Posted by a parent on 2/20/2026Exploris Middle School is a wonderfully diverse and inclusive public charter school. For families and/or students who live beyond historic social norms, this is a wonder school to be understood, supported, seen, and encouraged to be your authentic and emerging self.

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe switched schools to come here in 2nd grade and I'll just quote my almost 8 year old - "Hunter is the best school on the east coast!" He is a nerd and he has found his nerdy people! The electives are incredible, the teachers are incredible, and everyone is just so kind and normal and excited to be there. He goes to school happy and comes home happy. I couldn't ask for a better school for him and I'm thrilled to be a part of such a special place.Parent Review7mo ago - Wiley Elementary

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageAt Cathedral some teachers and administrators genuinely care about the students and consistently show respect to all families. Those individuals create a supportive environment and set a positive example for students.At times, it felt like only certain students and families were truly welcomed and valued. The high principal turnover has also been concerning and creates a lack of stability. As a faith-based school, there should be more consistency in leading with kindness, fairness, and God’s love toward all students and families.Suggested Changes:Communication needs significant improvement. Staff could benefit from additional leadership, communication, and professionalism training to better support students and families.Overall:For the cost of private school tuition, families expect stronger communication, consistency, and treatment. Unfortunately, our experience in those areas was often disappointing.Parent Review4mo ago
