[quote=febegaj][quote=Anonymous][quote]I'm not sure the level of religion at Trinity, but I know multiple students from different families who have left due to bullying and cliquish behavior.[/quote]

We just went through the application process at Trinity (not admitted), and Trinity is indeed very religious.  The website states that at least one parent must be Christian, but during the parent interview they asked both of us to speak about our faith.  They require a pastor recommendation as part of the application process.  On their website, they state that they are pro-life and support a Biblical view of marriage and sexuality.  If that works for your family (or is not a deal breaker), it seems like a terrific school with dedicated teachers.  We were very impressed, despite having some misgivings about these views.

I had not heard about students leaving because of bullying and cliquish behavior.  That is concerning.[/quote]

We are a family with conservative values, so we don't mind with those if that's all what "super religious" is about.
We just don't want the whole school day to be around religious stuff, we want a school that focuses primarily on academics.
Taking Trinity as an example, I see they have posted scores that compare with state average and FCPS

However I would like to see an independent source of such data, comparing all schools across the region.
Is there such a source to see how each school does academically?[/quote]
