Annunciation Catholic School

Posted: June 1, 2026

In my honest opinion, based on my experience and hearing about other teachers at this school, I can say that the teachers don't seem friendly or welcoming at all because of the lying, mistreatment, and unethical ways of treating my family. Initially, I thought this school was great, but after knowing the situations that have previously happened with my children, I can say do not send your child here!

We will be here until our child graduates and are confident that Annunciation will best prepare him for private/competitive high school advancement.

As working parents, we greatly appreciated the efforts of the aftee care staff to get homework done. Assigned homework was related to discussions and learning during classroom hours and the spring and summer break packets were accessible and challenging. Coming from another school in the Archdiocese, we found Annunciation to be a breath of fresh air.

New leadership during the 2019-2020 school year made a concerted effort to improve the effectiveness of teachers and staff. This incldued more training and additional resources available to students. The teacher were very involved in teaching to the student in order to not merely meet standards but exceed them.

Daily routines, individualism with an understanding of the greater good and encouragement are all helpful in this area.

As previously indicated, Annunciation waa blesses with a new principal last year who added much needed structure and expertise. Additional training, creative teaching styles, more vigorous curriculum, and an effort to reach each child to better understand how they learn best was refreshing.

The learning center is available to all students. Additionally, the small class sizes really helps the teaching to be child focused.

Children are nurtured and there is a structured disciplinary system.

They make sure that you turn in all of your homework.

I'm a current parent at Annunciation and we are trying desperately to leave Annunciation! Very weak leadership and and very few good teachers. Do not waste your time!

I was very surprised with my negative experience at the Annunciation school! It is such a wonderful location however, the school, teachers and their lack of organization was a total surprise! This is one of the worst Catholic schools in DC. The teacher was unprepared and rather than teaching my child she criticized her efforts. My child who has excelled at other group classes was actually nervous and scared to go to school because of her teacher. It seems that the new teachers and administrators that have taken over the school are not prepared to handle these situations and in creating a harmonious environment for the children to learn. I didn't reenroll my daughter there and suggest other parents take a good look before considering this school.

Annunciation is one of the worst catholic schools in DC. Don't be fooled by the location. I would rather home school my child that send them there. Worst principal, poorly trained teachers and weak curriculum. Loads of turnover of families in the past two years and what few good teachers were there have left.

Ms. Reagan cares deeply for the school and the success of her kids. She is involved and always thinking about ways to improve.

They come home with lessons about being kind, caring for each other, taking turns, respecting each other, etc.

Posted: February 6, 2017

The teachers are amazing. They know my kids, they tailor their instruction for them, and the support of their resource teacher when needed has been incredibly helpful!

My two kids love Annunciation. The teachers are so thoughtful in creating meaningful lessons and activities, and it is such a warm community. Everyone knows me and my kids, and the other parents, volunteers and students made us feel at home in our first year. I have never seen my children so excited to go to school every day. I cannot speak highly enough of this wonderful little school!

My son have been going to Annunciation Catholic School for 4 years not. Each year he grows more educationally, mentally and emotionally. The staff has such support for the students and parents. The class sizes are small which helps with the attention from the teachers. It would be a plus for anyone to bring their child to attend school here.

Annunciation Catholic School provides a loving environment and rigorous academic curriculum for our children. The religious instruction is top-notch and has had a significant, positive, impact on our children's lives. The principal is highly professional and responsive to families' needs, always seeking to address challenges as well as acknowledge successes.

As a parent of two children at Annunciation Catholic School, I have been tremendously impressed by the experience my children have received. The principal, teachers and community/faculty encourages and cares for the students by promoting high self esteem and academic excellence. The curriculum is very rigorous this year and my child has to put in extra hours to stay on task. The Teacher's offer tutoring to children who seem to be having difficulty/ which we love tremendously. They understand what methods work best for teaching children and the small class size helps to maintain order and one on one guidance is a plus!

This is a very sad place, and honestly probably the worse Catholic school in the area. The Principal has no concept of what she is doing, and the teachers seem to be without guidance, or effective guidance. The administration has no idea how to deal with problematic classroom situations, such as bullying, foul language and mean behavior. My children learned the very worst words in the English language, and for the first time learned about drugs and other issues not appropriate to their age in their loosely monitored aftercare program. Despite the small class sizes, my children were still below grade level, compared with any other school, albeit private, public or charter. It was a horrible experience for them. Whatever you do, don't send your babies here!

Annunciation s PK3 class is extremely affordable, comparatively. And it offers FREE before care starting at 7:45 am so convenient for our busy family! It also offers very affordable weekly pizza lunches and monthly hot dog lunches the convenience continues! It has an impressive curriculum. A full-service school, the Pre-Kers go to Spanish, music, gym, and art classes (yes!), have 2nd grade "mentors" who read to them weekly (so cute!), and go on fun off-site field trips (Imagination Stage). We get weekly (!) hand-written report cards on our daughter s progress, and receive regular emails on the units being taught each week. The teachers/staff are terrific! They really care about students, lovingly comforting them when they're hurt, sick, or scared. They provide fun, age-appropriate educational instruction using play-based toys, books, and hands-on activities. Administrators are competent and responsive. My daughter always comes home with big smiles and exiting stories about her day - the true mark of a great program. The student body is diverse, unlike neighboring private schools, and the S/T ratio is low 1:4. We love Annunciation and you will, too!

This is a very good school and worth the investment in a child's education. The principal, teachers and staff are very professional. The student teacher ratio is very good, incredibly low. It is a small school and yet it offers students choices. It was a bold move to change to using tablets this year (Fall 2014-Spring 2015) instead of textbooks but that was not only forward thinking but logical considering what the students will face in the future with an aptitude in technology required to be second nature. I would highly recommend parents to consider this school if they want an excellent private school education along with the freedom to have their children pray and learn good solid Christian values. It is on par with the best Montgomery County public elementary schools, middle schools and private Catholic Schools in Maryland (which I as a parent have had experience with).

My child is new to this area and school and I cannot begin to express how happy I was with both the Teachers and the Administration. They really seam to care about the children. It was the Principal's first year with the school and she seamed like a veteran. She promised at the beginning of the year that she would hold people accountable, teachers, students and parents alike, and she stuck to it. While I didn't always agree with her decisions, I respected them. Our last school was all about numbers and money, Annunciation is all about progress! My daughter's teacher promptly answered all my emails and kept me informed of her progress, that did not happen at our previous school. We will be here for a while!!!!

Posted: June 11, 2014

Horrible! The Principal doesn't know what she is doing! The staff seems unhappy, it's a sad place to be. Completely disappoint it!

Posted: April 2, 2014

Our son is in pre-K this year, and we are so happy with the loving and wonderful environment of this class and school. We could not be happier. The school is absolutely fantastic and we are so happy we found it!

Posted: August 30, 2013

The classroom sizes are great! My son is in the 6th grade this year and he only has 12 students in his class. They also have engrade which helps me keep an eye on his grades on a daily basis. The parent family is also great. This is the best school my son has ever attended. Please come and check it out.

The school provides a strong academic foundation that also heavily embraces the catholic faith. The teachers are truly engaged with their students and strive to maintain a strong collaborative relationship with the parents.

Wonderful principal. Energetic, active, dynamic, modern, innovative. No, they did not pay me for my comments. Sweet teachers who can connect with my child and many others that I know. Lovely families. Super after care activities many of which are free of charge. Chess, drama, Art and craft, photography and more. My kid loves his school which means a lot.

Annunciation was my foundation. It is the only school i've ever been to that left an imprint on who i am today. Its been five years since i graduated eigth grade there and i have to say it was an eyeopening, fantastic experience. I met my best friend there, i met my first crush there, i met my friends for life there, and i met teachers that you can't find anywhere else! The teachers are like family, and the atmosphere is so fun, loving, and open to all. The only bad part is i wish there had been more sports or extra curriculars but other than that, i have nothing to complain about, it was incredible, and will forever be a part of my history and life!

Posted: February 9, 2011

Also My son left that school and guess what he loved Annunciation Catholic Schools so much That he came back he cried to come back. I do not know what to do without him stop begging me to take him back and now's he's back he's really happy..!? and im hoping for more children to come to this school because this school is 5 STAR for me..!
