As a 4 year goer of St Margaret's, my years have up and down, it is constantly developing and I believe that the school is planning on getting better every year. Even though we lack in some sports (e.g Track & Field), we still have Basketball which shines one of the biggest lights on the school (2nd in the state). Another light is that sisterhood aspect, as the school is very diverse consisting of more than 30 different countries, we are always connecting and sharing culture together, which makes it special.

This school transformed our daughter’s complete outlook on the world. The sisterhood is real, even for the girls that reject the idea initially. They take acre of each other and are nice to each other. The faculty is demanding, but in a Good Will Hunting sort of way. It’s the best choice we’ve ever...

My daughter just finished her second year at St. Margaret’s School. She has had a phenomenal experience in the classroom and out. The river activities like boating and fishing are so unique. She loves the focus on environmental studies that come with the school’s proximity to the Rappahannock River....

This is a terrible school. None of the teachers can teach, and my daughter is depressed because of this school. Please do not send your child here unless you want them crying every day when they come home.
