School Reviews
4 3/2/2019
I only went to Loudoun County for freshman year, but I have moved a lot and I have seen other high schools. In all, teachers are great and supportive from things like the robotics program to French, German, Latin, and Spanish language programs. Sports are about average but recently there has been renewed quality in wrestling, football, and soccer. Others like women basketball and volleyball have always dominated. Music is where Loudoun county thrives, especially Jazz Band. Loudoun counties marching band always goes to national competitions. In general, music groups are the most popular at school both socially and in participation. NJROTC also is every large and recently had a massive upgrade costing about 3 million but other facilities are just old and not good especially the cafeteria, the food is pretty bad. In short the school is very well academically rounded and better than most schools.
