I honestly expected so much better from this school. They don’t even have crossing guards every day only on certain days which makes it unsafe for our kids to walk to and from school. It feels like the staff doesn’t truly care about the children’s education or well-being. As a parent, I’ve had to co
Posted by a parent on 11/6/2025We’ve had an outstanding experience at Dorinda Pillow Elementary. When we were looking for a school, we prioritized diversity, a small and welcoming community, experienced staff, and a strong dual language Spanish program. After touring a few campuses and speaking with Ms. Perez, we knew Pillow was
Posted by a parent on 4/30/2025I am the parent of a 2nd grader and we've had an exceptional school year. He has made so much progress this year with the help of his teacher, counselor and principal support. Instead of punishing his unique characteristics, they have found ways to provide a supportive learning environment that play

Posted by a parent on 4/25/2025I'd like to support the positive reviews that were left recently regarding Pillow and remind people reading these reviews, that people who might have an issue with this school tend to use their anonymity to vent if they had an incident with the school. Don't let a person's negativity keep you from l

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageParagon Prep School is truly phenomenal, and we give it our highest recommendation. One of the first things that stood out to us when visiting schools was seeing Paragon graduates—after high school and even college—return to visit their teachers. That speaks volumes about the strong relationships and sense of community the school creates.We love Paragon’s motto, “Work Hard. Play Hard. Be Kind.” It perfectly reflects both the school culture and what education should be about. Paragon is also wonderful for busy families, offering a wide variety of before- and after-school programs, enrichment classes, sports, and summer camps.Paragon’s Valor program ensures new students feel welcomed and connected from day one. The school year even begins and ends with a pool party! There are many fun traditions and celebrations, including Elvis Day, Chinese New Year, Día de los Muertos, and a full week of roller skating. Students are placed into “colleges” and enjoy earning points through school spirit, volunteering, and community service, creating friendly competition throughout the year.Engaging field trips are an integral part of the curriculum, and the school also offers international trips for families during the summer. We accompanied the sixth graders on a trip to Colonial Virginia, and it was a truly enriching experience for both the students and our family.Our middle school son is proud to be taking all honors classes, and even with the academic rigor, he is able to play three school sports while also practicing another outside of school. With Valor and study hall, students have ample time to complete homework and stay organized.We are deeply grateful for the exceptional educators and staff who have made such a lasting difference in our son’s life. A special shoutout to Mrs. Lype, Mrs. Correro, Coach Josh, Coach Nick, Mrs. Behr, Mr. Wyatt, Mr. Stubblefield, Mr. Aidan, Mr. Cory, Mr. Joey, and Mrs. Hay! Our son will undoubtedly become one of the many Paragon graduates who return to visit the teachers, staff, and administrators who helped shape his journey.Parent Review3mo ago - The Magellan International School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageAmazing school. Loving, caring, well balanced yet rigorous IB program. Teaches kids the love of learning and taking actions in life. I cant wait to see what the Magellan kids will do out in the world eventually. Our family has been there for 9 years with 2 kids.Parent Review1y ago - St Louis Catholic School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWhat an amazing school! The friends I made at St. Louis are still some of my best friends years after we've graduated. The education that my peers and I received at St. Louis was the foundation that helped us thrive in high school at St. Michael's and later in college. Most importantly though, I'm grateful that St. Louis grew my faith through religious education and the sacraments. I'll forever be thankful for the blessing that St. Louis has been in my life.Other Review1y ago
