If you want to pay premium tuition for your child to attend a "superior" academic school, but for…read morethem to not be able to participate in team sports of their choosing (over scholarship athlete students or moving a few kids "up" and cutting eligible age kids) then by all means write that $27k annual check. Silly me thought that my kids would be able to have a well rounded high school experience; Be able to join/play team sports of their choosing. It is a private school after all. I get that PG wants sports titles to hang in their halls and to promote on their social media, but when did that take priority over the paying family's kid who's just as eager to play a sport, but doesn't get the opportunity. The administrators and board are aware of the many parent complaints regarding this and they do nothing because they are a private institution and because they can. I'd highly recommend pursuing any other schools besides PG. The board and admin don't care about the kids' overall academic experience. What they care about is winning and how that makes Porter Gaud look to the public. Maybe that sounds good to you. I'd rather have any kid who wants to play a sport, be it basketball or soccer or track, be able to do just that...and if the season is a bust, at least there was an opportunity for a lesson in character building.

We've been incredibly impressed with this growing, project-based school. Instead of just memorizing…read morefacts, students are encouraged to problem-solve, build, design, and collaborate, skills that will serve them far beyond the classroom. The smaller class sizes let each student get a more individualized education that meets their curriculum needs. This was our daughter's first year at LOA and it has been a wonderful experience. Can't wait to see the what the next school year brings!

When a teacher tells your autistic daughter. Who loves animals, the gruesome story of her pet being…read morekilled. Then askes the other students to share stores like that too, it's intentional bullying. My daughter cried for days. The students showed her pictures of animals being killed on their computers and she asked for help, only to be dismissed. To have male students putting their hands on female students making them uncomfortable and staff ignoring my daughter when she tried to ask for help, to be ignored.... these arent Christian values. To have a teacher tease and make fun of your Austin daughter during class. Pointing her out to make her feel gained up on and singled out..... such a disappointment. And we paid for it. With money and with my daughters well being. Not very christ like
