Where in PG? Fort Washington very far from college park. We were in Bowie and it’s really one big reason we moved — we just couldn’t bear to drive our kids to AA and then commute into DC. Our neighbors all did religious school. We might have done St Pius but weren’t really psyched about it and felt like we wouldn’t have a great option for HS.
If your spouse has the capacity to drive kids out/up to someplace like sandy spring or bishop McNamara, that opens up more options.

School of the Incarceration in Crofton. We started last year and have had a great experience.

Edified Christian Academy in Landover is definitely worth a look.

My kids (in NE DC) have met kids through summer camps and sports who go to Friends Community School in College Park.

Sandy Spring

There is also:
DeMatha
Friends Community School
St Jerome’s, if you are Catholic
Seton
Bishop McNamara

I guess it does not have to be in PG to be honest with you. I appreciate your recommendations!

Indian Creek in Crownsville

I know several people very happy with Holy Redeemer in College park.

School of the Incarnation is near Crofton.

Best resource is talking to parents of current and/or students who recently graduated. Ask them what high schools they’re attending, special programs, scholarships, etc.

St. Pius, Grace Christian in Bowie, and Holy Trinity are all within about 10 minutes of one another.

Depending on where you work, you could consider the Annapolis area schools.
Key school
Indian creek
St Andrew’s (methodist)
St Anne’s (episcopal)
St Mary’s (Catholic)

As for assessing academics, that takes some effort - ask for curriculum info, check out the math paths, look at the work on the walls, etc

I am a teacher and parent of PGCPS. For various reasons, I am looking at private schools within PG county. I honestly have no true requirements other than strong academics and parental involvement. I am open to distance, tuition, hours, demographics, etc. I just don’t understand where people send their kids when they say send them to a PG private school. How do you assess that the academics are strong there if they don’t necessarily follow the same standards as PGCPS? Thanks!
