Quantico Middle/High School

Front desk has an awful attitude. My daughter got hurt back to back within 1 week and were given excuses on why a parent wasn’t reached. Mind you this was a head injury and I’m a nurse myself. I had a talk with someone in administration who did not formally say who they were but stated they would follow up. This school does not follow up with parents when it comes incidents. They administration hide their credentials and do not state who they are over the phone unless you are in person. I DO NOT RECOMMEND and can’t wait to move out of dumfries.

I've had three different children attend this school and they've all grown in immense ways. They are constantly challenged and given pathways to develop their strengths. One of my children needed additional support and the school worked with us every step of the way. The teachers are responsive and you can tell they genuinely care. The diversity of the students and staff is an added bonus. The school constantly put on events for students and families and it truly feels like you're part of a community whenever in attendance. Everyone from the teachers to the librarian to front office workers to the principal is involved in cheering along your little ones at their events and award assemblies. It's a morale booster for sure and you can tell the kids look forward to it. All in all, I've had nothing but pleasant experiences in the last four years.

Awesome, great teachers, Staff and leadership. Our son loves going to school everyday!

Where do I begin, Calvary is an exemplary Christian School. Mr. Wallace and the staff are amazing and it shows through their dedication and sacrifice for the children who attend. My daughter started when we first moved to the area and within a year she progressed tremendously. During COVID, they did not miss a beat, the transition to online was literally seamless and when the kids went back to school they implemented measures that ensured the children were safe. The lovely young lady who takes the temperatures every morning is a heaven sent, she was Always in good spirits and there were a few mornings where I was not at my greatest and she somehow managed to get me back together. All I can say that the love of Christ is definitely represented at this school and you no parent will regret sending their child here. Keep up the good work Calvary and God's Best!

My daughter started attending SBCA in December of 2021 and from the very beginning- we were in love. The teachers & administration are fantastic. My daughter has flourished under the care, knowledge, & guidance from everyone at SBCA.

This is a traditional Catholic school. They have shorter days every Friday and attend mass as a school every Friday. In some grades there is more opportunity to participate as a parent volunteer than others. Some teachers do not allow parents to come in at all except for parent conferences. I believe it really depends on the teacher and how she runs her class. Most, if not all, teachers are women. The school lacks diversity and does not celebrate cultural holidays or showcase encore subjects such as art or technology. Although they do have a spanish teacher that teaches spanish language. The school would benefit from having more parent involvement in activities with the children after school. Art night or music night sounds fun and an activity that most schools have, including private school. Some classes are not very fun and include many worksheets. If your child enjoys doing worksheets then they will do fine. The PTO has been more active this school year and trying to have the fun activities outside of normal school hours.
