Posted by a parent on 11/1/2025This schools staff are disrespectful they invalidate kids with actual learning disabilities and mental health issues.
Posted by a parent on 10/17/2025Very poor to no communication at all. I had to transfer my child to a private school due to lack of encouragement and follow-up, a rude front desk, the worst football coaching, and no other sports. It was a disappointing experience.
Posted by a parent on 5/31/2025I have mixed feelings about SLHS. My daughter transferred there after her freshman year at another FCPS school that was worse in some aspects, and I was grateful that she was allowed to enroll at South Lakes. However, the communication between school administrators and myself has been poor, to say t
Posted by a parent on 5/30/2025When first moving to the Herndon area we were highly discouraged by South Lakes, but it has gotten a lot better recently. The teachers work extremely hard to give their student a quality education and the diversity of the school really makes for a supportive community. If you've heard rumors about S

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy kids' teachers are good, and I have no complaints about them. However, in my experience, the principal is very rude and discriminates against people based on who they are. I am also concerned because I don't know how my kids are being treated while they are there.Parent Review4mo ago - Sunrise Valley Elementary School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe Academy of Christian Education is a wonderful school. My children went to the school for over a decade from Junior Kindergarten to 8th grade. Every academic year, they grew spiritually, academically, and socially. My son especially had major problems in reading and writing in his earlier years, but today as a high schooler, is constantly praised by his teachers for being a good essay writer and analytical reader. The skills my children learnt at ACE are helping them to this day. They have gone to other school as well after leaving ACE, but they always talk about their pleasant times at ACE and how they were treated like family by the school faculty. The teachers are a joy. They always make sure that their students are emotionally and academically okay. Students who attend ACE in elementary and middle school are well prepared for higher levels of education, including high school, and even college. One of my best decisions to this day regarding my children has been making the decision to send them to ACE.Parent Review7mo ago
