  1. #1 Best Private High Schools in AmericaPhillips Exeter AcademyExeter, NH•Private School•9-12•Rating 4.34 out of 5 334 reviewsAlum: Phillips Exeter Academy allows students to pursue an intense education while making meaningful connections beyond the classroom. The teachers care deeply for both their students' education and emotional wellbeing. There is certainly an environment that promotes sacrifice for the sake of work– it can be intense. Despite this, the student body is not especially competitive. Though the administration occasionally misses the mark, PEA as an institution does an excellent job caring for its students and community....

The opportunity to involve yourself in so many different areas of study, as well as attempt new things without the fear of feeling unqualified was such a freeing experience, and one that many ever get to experience.

As a shy middle school student, I was advised by a family friend to look into small schools during my high school search. The community at Commonwealth helped me find my voice, connect closely with my friends and teachers, and learn about myself in a controlled environment. Although a large portion of my experience was heavily affected by the pandemic and the school chose some subpar ways to foster longtime school traditions, I still consider what I gained from my four years to have outweighed my losses.

When I first came at Riverdale, I was a freshman and it was during the Corona pandemic. Most of the students had been there since kindergarten and therefore made it extremely difficult to fit in. Also, going to Riverdale from kindergarten or middle school also meant that your family was able to afford the cost to attend. Since I came from a low-income family in Queens, I went through an extreme cultural change. Because of my experiences at Riverdale, I was able to see reality, though at the time it was not the best experience, I find gratitude for it.

I expected the school to nurture our child's intellectual potential, it is the manner in which this has been cultivated that is impressive -- the depth of critical discussions (feels like college-level engagement), feedback for growth, and a deeply personal and caring network of support from student advisers to social and academic issues is intentional, accessible and thoughtful. The school deserves its STEM reputation, not just due to faculty, facilities and rigor, but equally because of the curiosity-driven and creative space teachers bring to the experience. One thing for HM to change is to bring more prominence to more sports that student athletes do well in, from waterpolo to fencing and field hockey etc. Sports and teamwork are also part of the HM equation but are sometimes overlooked....

I feel the current version is not the traditional progressive ideology but a hijacked extremist version of it. Supporters of these ideologies appear to question the traditional merit-based system and place a strong emphasis on discussing matters primarily through racial lens. Martin luther king spent his entire life fighting for a colorblind society and here we are injecting race into everything which is is extremely corrosive . Historically, societies have "only" thrived on systems that prioritize merit and fairness. It is essential to emphasize a bias-free, merit-based system that doesn't take race into account, ensuring that humankind progresses and uplifts everyone in the process.

  20. #19 Best Private High Schools in AmericaCrystal Springs Uplands SchoolHillsborough, CA•Private School•6-12•Rating 4.43 out of 5 51 reviewsSenior: Crystal is definitely a humanities-focused school. The English and history programs are very demanding, and the honors-level classes require significant time and effort to excel. It's small, so a proportional number of classes is expected, but a large share of the electives are concentrated in the history and English departments. The STEM side is much more limited and mandatory CS classes for underclassmen are a joke. You will also choose very few of your classes until senior year. While there are a small number of teachers known as ones to avoid, the majority of teachers are very knowledgeable and approachable. Poor administration in areas such as food (as they continually negotiate the contract down) and a commitment to wasting time with endeavors like DEI and various mandatory meetings detract from the school's academic mission. On some days it feels like I'm spending more time listening to guest speakers than studying. However, facilities are generally new and well-maintained....

From my freshman year to my last year, Loomis's community was outstanding. Although I was new I never felt like I was a stranger to the campus. It would be a lie to say my experience was smooth especially when this was my first time living at school and being away from home. But while encountering these problems I had a great support system from Loomis and any problem I had was easily solved by upper class men and even faculty in the dorms. One thing I would like to see change is the visitation inside dorms.

Lawrenceville is very academically challenging, and the classes are rigorous. The classes, however, are incredibly interesting and engaging; whether through working in groups in advanced math classes or having the school's trademark Harkness discussions in English classes, Lawrenceville cultivates a great learning environment. There is also an extensive amount of clubs for everyone with any interest, as well as publications. House culture is very strong; the entire experience is often described as more like college than high school! In my experience, day students are also well integrated into the culture and the plethora of activities; you can go home as soon as classes end or at 8pm each night.

  26. #24 Best Private High Schools in AmericaDwight Global Online SchoolWest Palm Beach, FL•Online School•6-12•Rating 4.9 out of 5 174 reviewsParent: DGOS has been a great experience for our daughter. It has allowed her to continue to challenge herself academically with an extremely wide breadth of AP, IB and other advanced course offerings and highly engaged teachers, while at the same time providing her the flexibility to pursue her sport at a high level. Many students at DGOS have a time consuming extracurricular activity and the teachers and administrators are very understanding and accommodating without sacrificing academics to do so. The annual in-person events, Orientation and STEAM Week, are highlights and widely attended by DGOS students from all over, allowing students to get to know their classmates and teachers in person, rare for an online school, and truly deepens relationships and changes the dynamic for students on an on-going basis. A few days exploring NYC with new friends and creating in person memories is a great additional benefit! Highly recommend DGOS....
