  1. #1 Best Private K-12 Schools in Anne Arundel CountyKey SchoolAnnapolis, MD•Private School•PK, K-12•Rating 4.59 out of 5 201 reviewsJunior: My overall experience at Key School has been, to say the least, interesting. The faculty atmosphere is unmatched. The teachers are hands on and always ready to help a student, even before the student asks for help. The school is small, classes are small, and therefore personal strong connections are able to be made with the teachers/faculty. There are not that many program opportunities, probably because of the size of the school. I wish that could change. The diversity is great, and the attention to racial and religious minorities is amazing as well. I have never felt as a young Black woman I was not welcomed at the school. There has also always been a great accessibility to tutoring or academic help, which I appreciate. I wish to see a change in the fact that we are not allowed to constantly see our grades at our own discretion. We (the students) have majorally been asking for this to be changed, and have seen no changes....

  2. #2 Best Private K-12 Schools in Anne Arundel CountySevern SchoolSeverna Park, MD•Private School•PK, K-12•Rating 4.27 out of 5 113 reviewsSenior: Severn School is a very academic-focused school that works hard to prepare its students for a successful post-graduation career. Whether that is in college or on another career path, Severn supports their students in building a resume to begin their working lives. The best part of Severn is the "known and valued" culture. The small class sizes ensure that students are well-known and equally valued by all of the teachers as well as their peers. A down side to Severn for some could be the lack of diversity. Personally, for me this didn't have an effect ton my experience however, I know many others who would have appreciated a more diverse body of students....
