Word to the wise: google maps will lead you to the side opposite of the parking lot entrance, so turn right then left on the next street to get to the soccer fields. overall, fields are pretty solid condition (separate fields for football and soccer), with bleachers on the side. Doesn't have as much problem with beads piled up (like Wash Lee) or holes in the field (RFK aux field). Ample parking, trash cans...no bathrooms though from what I could find.

Wasn't too long after graduation that I realized that St. John's more than prepared me for the next level. The curriculum is challenging. You aren't allowed to float by and you are getting the tools needed to thrive beyond college. Critical thinking and reasoning were skills imparted to you. Athletics could have been stronger, but it's picking up a lot of steam. It helps that the CEO of Under Armour, Kevin Plank, is a SJC alum. This school will continue to grow and will undoubtedly be an elite institution for years to come.

My daughter came from a Montessori program which was very self-guided, and the transition to Maret - which naturally has more structure - has been really well received by her. The school's pedagogy preserves the importance of agency in its students, something that will be critical for Generation Alpha kids with access to LLMs that can do anything for them. My sense from conversations with the high schoolers is that self-worth (not self-flagellation) is prioritized as students enter the rat race for college; excellence is expected, but it's not designed to be an unhealthy pressure cooker.

Review for basketball gym only…read more The infamous DeMatha Catholic High School has been host for the WCAC girl's basketball quarterfinals for years but this year was a bit different. DeMatha's beloved, celebrated coach of the boys program for decades passed away in January. At the front entrance was signage that in Coach Wootten's honor, they were collecting used (but not abused) basketball shoes for the under privileged. Such an awesome gesture for an extraordinary coach/man. I've been to many basketball games in this gym and have enjoyed them all. They've always had the boosters and the DeMatha families working the front desk, collecting money and at the concession stand. Everyone is super friendly, even when folks have been eager to bypass the long lines and crowds. When packed, the atmosphere is electric and usually multiple college recruiters can be seen in attendance. That's what high school basketball is all about, especially at DeMatha where Coach Wootten built his legacy.

Traveling with the team I will say I lucked out in a way bc I am not sure where anyone parks other than illegally in the street coming in and out of the complex when it is busy. So that could be an issue for patrons who travel and need a place to park. However, this will be a very big issue to find a place to park. I will say that the inside of this arena is that of a bigger division 2 arena however - their snack bar and seating was all filled and the inside and entrances were well lit by natural light and windows. The only thing that maybe either they are keeping original or haven't gotten to is the floor. It is the original heavily polyurethane yellow-tinted floor paint. Charming to me but kind of looks out of place with the rest of the place. Will be back

I love this place for being my chrysalis at a time when D.C. was the murder capital of the world and my life and my academic advancement felt so precarious. Carroll saved me by providing loving guidance in my journey to walk with God and academically over preparing me for college and law school. Generations of my family have graced the halls at great financial sacrifice for our working class parents and grandparents. I found God and myself at Carroll. I made lifelong friends and fantastic memories that lift me up when I feel down. I still get goosebumps when I walk onto that football field just like I did when I strapped up that gold helmet in high school. I owe Carroll much more than I could ever hope to repay. Carroll students reflect the light of Jesus Christ in all of their undertakings. Founded in 1951, Carroll was one of the first racially integrated schools in D.C. to defy the de facto racial segregation that was the law of the land in those pre Brown v. Board days in America. Today the school has a special calling to engage its students on issues of social justice, economic justice, racial equality, gender equality, and religious freedom. Make no mistake about it, Carroll is a college preparatory high school where academic rigor, love for man and womankind, and love of God through good works is at the center of the community. Academically, 99% of the graduates go on to matriculate at top level colleges and universities all while being awarded hundreds of thousands of dollars in merit based scholarships and financial aid. Carroll is one of only a handful of schools in this area offering the International Baccalaureate program. The true Carroll compact is that working class families and families with limit means can be assured that if they make the financial sacrifice to send their student here they will go on to college and be prepared for that endeavor. This is true for all students but especially true for African-American and Latino students; students who hail from homes where English is a second language; families who recently immigrated; and, students from homes where the love is plentiful but the dollars are in short supply. Carroll is a fantastic community in which extracurricular pursuits such as athletic excellence, various clubs, social engagement, and community service is the norm. Whether your student is a future D-1 athlete, a future business leaders of America, a student who wishes to serve the community by volunteering at a soup kitchen, or one who wants to follow the religious order calling of the Lord... Carroll has a place for them. What is more, for those student who do not yet know what they want, or who may wish to carve out their own niche, Carroll allows enough structure to keep them focused and enough freedom to allow for self discovery. Carroll is currently going through a multi-million dollar renovation on both the interior and exterior. But the true measures of the school are the people in the building: the teachers, the administrators, the alumni, the parents, and most importantly the students. The magnificent light of Jesus Christ is reflected brightly at Carroll. If you have a student who is considering the school, come on in for a visit, walk the halls, sit in an engineering class as they design items on a 3-D printer, attend a sporting event, come to one of their world renowned artistic performances, or celebrate Mass in the beautiful chapel. This is what home feels like as personified in a school. Here, Rocky has special meaning. 333 is more than a number. WOOF is all one need say. Gold painted cleats are a rite of passage. Special Carroll Christmas Carol Christmas Special. Fence Party. World's Finest Chocolate. Hoderny. Collins. O'Boyle. Thompson. Mudd. Leftwich. Food drive. Zacchaeus soup kitchen. Les Miserables. Lion's Pride. Little Sisters of the Poor. The Augustinians. Walking the Shrine in May. All those things mean something special here. In the words of that old Carroll pep rally cheer: I got that feeling; oh yeah!!!; it's deep inside; oh yeah!!!; I got that feeling; oh yeah!!!; it's Carroll pride; oh yeah!!! It's in our hearts; oh yeah!!! It's very true; oh yeah!!! It lives in me; oh yeah!!!; it lives in you!!!! Say Green!!!

And it's a small team. If management could be replaced with someone who enjoys the job, and parents and children, this school would be top in area.

As an English-speaking parent of a child that has been at Rochambeau since she was three years old,…read moreI am extremely happy with how my child has grown over the years with her knowledge of French, English, and now Spanish. She is also someone who, given the extremely diverse community at Rochambeau (now, I believe over 80 nationalities represented!) is comfortable and informed about the world! No school is perfect--I know of highly rated private schools in the DC area where students struggled with math and parents were paying upwards of $45k a year! Communication is a struggle at times with the administration--but they have listened from American parents and have grown tremendously, for instance now making sure all parent/family programs are in English and French. Rochambeau is an amazing global education with incredibly dedicated teachers at a reasonable price point. I highly recommend it to parents looking for a school that invests in the children and an international education!
