The Marylhurst School Named One of Niche.com’s Best Schools for 2026

We’re proud to share that The Marylhurst School has once again been named one of Niche.com’s Best Schools for 2026, marking our fourth consecutive year of recognition! This year, Marylhurst earned an overall grade of A, with an A– for Academics and an A for Teachers, a reflection of the heart of our community: curious, creative learners supported by dedicated teachers and engaged families.

What the Ranking Means

Niche.com’s annual school rankings combine data and real-world experiences to provide families with a comprehensive look at schools across the nation. Their methodology includes:

• Public and school data on enrollment, performance, and outcomes;

• User reviews from students, parents, and teachers that offer insight into school culture and community;

• Weighted factors such as academics, diversity, and teacher quality; and

• Survey scores that measure family and student satisfaction across multiple dimensions of school life.

This balanced approach helps families find schools that are not only strong in academics but also supportive, inclusive, and community-driven, values that lie at the heart of Marylhurst’s mission.

We are honored by this recognition, which truly belongs to our students, faculty, and families. Every day, our teachers design experiences that ignite curiosity and creativity; our students approach learning with wonder and purpose; and our families partner with us to nurture joyful, confident learners.

As we celebrate this milestone, we reaffirm our commitment to progressive education and to fostering a community where children are deeply known, thoughtfully challenged, and inspired to grow.
