The Parish Episcopal School

Our son attended Parish for 2 years.Some of the kids in his class didn't even know how to do simple multiplication and had serious problems with their academics. All the boys in his class played football(no exceptions). For their parents sports is much more important than academics. My son doesn't play football. He's very sociable but in that environment he couldn't make any friends. Considering that the tuition is about 24,000 a year and lunch almost $200 a month we decided to look for another school. On the good side, the language and music teachers were very good and knew how to inspire their students. But overall it was a bad experience.

This school is great! Students are explained the new topics thoroughly and therefore learn a lot! I definitely recommend it to possible future students.

Graduated from Parish a few years ago. Really the reason you should attend this school is for the teachers. The vast majority of teachers here are very good at what they do and try their best to give personal attention to each student. A lot of the techniques I use to study in college I learned from assignments I did in high school. Teachers are also so friendly and well-liked that it's very common to see students hanging out in a teacher's office just talking; students and teachers are pretty much one whole community. The school actively tries to foster a diverse and inclusive student body, which I think it does very well. I know at my current university I come from by far the most diverse school out of the vast majority of my friends. People also had a variety of interests in academics, athletics, arts, etc. If I had rated the school when I graduated, I'd give it a 4/5, but thanks to a lot of radical new changes I've heard about, I have to give it a 5/5. I'm seriously jealous of all the new things that current students have access to that I never did.

Our children have attended Parish for 10 years. One child graduated in 2011, one is in high school and one is in lower elementary. So we have experienced every division and campus of this school multiple times over many years. We highly, highly recommend Parish. The academics, athletics and arts programs are excellent. And the school and administration are constantly looking for ways to improve and innovate. Of course, no school is perfect. But any issues we have experienced or heard about over the years have been addressed. And isn't that what you want in a school? When our older children were in middle school and we asked if they wanted to consider applying someplace else, they both said absolutely not. And when it came time to apply for our youngest, we looked nowhere else. When he graduates in 2023, we will have had a 20-year relationship with Parish. I think that speaks volumes about the kind of school Parish is.

This is a top-notch school. The headmaster and all faculty are on the same page -- committed to your child's success. The culture of the school is a healthy one, and the students seem so happy. Our child has been so appreciative of the chance to attend such a great school. In addition, Parish provides a rigorous academic program, and the homework level is appropriate.
