South Lakes High School is a public high school for grades 9-12 located in Reston in Fairfax…read moreCounty, VA. They have a great piece of land which allows for ample parking on both sides of the school. The inside of the school was renovated pretty recently, so classrooms, common areas, gymnasiums, etc. are in great shape and have top of the line technology. It also happens to share some land with Langston Middle School which is convenient for the county. The teachers and staff are wonderful. I've had a chance to work with them frequently through my volunteer role with the Relay For Life of Reston. A really unique thing about this school is that they have a huge JROTC program. It allows for the students to get involved with activities outside of the classroom, get mentored, learn leadership/organization skills, become more motivated and have more discipline, and really prepare them for the real world/college. I can't talk highly enough about the JROTC program and the influence it has in these kids lives, especially when they may not be receiving a lot of support at home. I have gotten to know Sargaent Handy and Major Schuler over the years; they are such wonderful role models and I'm so grateful for their service. Shout out to Linda and Susan in the activities office, they're a huge help to us too!

The teachers are excellent, attentive, and committed to each child's success. It's clear they genuinely care about both the academic and personal development of their students. I also love how the administration works seamlessly as a team. They are approachable and proactive in creating a supportive learning environment. The combination of strong academics and dedicated teachers make Edlin a great school. I'm so glad we chose Edlin for our child. This school sets the bar high and delivers! It's also a great school for events and community that we have not seen in other private school in the area.

Teachers are very capable and there are really some nice teachers here. When it comes to IEP, they don't have a nice program and probably not ready dealing with it. Some of the teachers doesn't know what to do with his condition. They forced him to do their standards even though he is not capable of some of the things that an ordinary kid can do. We ended up spending a lot of money for theraphy and psychiatrist consultation. He failed 2 subjects although they reasoned out we don't have to be worried because those subjects will not affect him going forward to high school. Now my son is in Herndon High School with almost all subjects in straight A's (except one B). What a stark difference in one year.

To finish this great review I'd like to add how hard working the teachers are and how they produce plentiful amounts of intelligent students. Thank you for you time.

Our family completed 9-12 here, and I say family because we attended Oakcrest not just as a…read morestudent, but also the involvement and commitment as parents and siblings to foster and support the formation of our daughter brought us to the school functions several times a week. Our daughter is not academically inclined and Oakcrest is an elite college preparatory school. With that being said, we have asked on several occasions if she wishes to explore easier alternatives. She refuses to and has cried over it because of how much she loves her teachers and her friends. Our family and extended family have joined efforts in investing in our daughter's education at Oakcrest specifically in hopes that she will form into a beautiful, young lady and that she will have a safe place to learn about God, to love herself, and to build friendships that last a life time. The smiles and cheerfulness is not just on brochures, it's actually in person as well! How incredible it is to see the girls are so happy here at this school. By following the Opus Dei teachings, the school has been able to be mindful of what those teachings really mean as they've built a culture surrounding it. The social norms and mainstream media issues are not completely isolated from the girls, but they definitely are kept at bay. We find this to be vital as the girls already have enough on their plate during these teenage years to navigate through the hormones and self-identity struggles. They know those things exist and they can be exposed later once they've learned who they are and how they want to perceive the media rather than the media having a say over their life. Our family is heavily involved in the school functions and appreciate Oakcrest's faculty and staff for their dedication. We would be happy to recommend Oakcrest to others with similar values who are looking to have a Christ-centered education and for the girls to see their personal worth and how that plays a role in living out the sanctity of daily life.
