Best Military High Schools

Hello everyone. I've been thinking about pursuing a military path and attending a military high school. Just out of curiosity, does anybody know which military high schools are considered the best?

a year ago

There are quite a few military high schools in the United States that are highly respected. Here are a few to consider:

1. Randolph-Macon Academy in Virginia: Known for its diverse population and strong STEM program. All JROTC classes are taught by retired military personnel.

2. St. John's Northwestern Military Academy in Wisconsin: Offers a rigorous academic curriculum and leadership training. This school has a very positive reputation and traditions dating back to 1884.

3. Marine Military Academy in Texas: The academy follows the traditions and ideals of the U.S. Marine Corps, with its mission being to develop disciplined, morally strong, college-ready young men who are prepared for responsible leadership.

4. New York Military Academy: This school emphasizes character development and leadership skills, alongside a robust academic and athletic program. Notable alumni include Donald Trump and Stephen Sondheim.

5. Valley Forge Military Academy in Pennsylvania: Known for its rigorous academic and leadership programs. It has produced many successful alumni, including author J.D. Salinger.

These schools are just a few examples; there are quite a few out there depending on what you're looking for. It's always important to research each one carefully to see if it aligns with your personal goals and academic pursuits. For example, Randolph-Macon might be a particularly good fit if you're interested in STEM, while Valley Forge could be a great choice if you're seeking a school with a strong focus on character development.
