In my experience, my biggest fear was that the school would change its approach halfway through the…read moreschool year, and unfortunately, that's exactly what happened. I felt that my concerns about racial harassment and discrimination involving children of color were not taken seriously. In my opinion, there was a lack of transparency and accountability from the administration, and I often felt that issues were minimized rather than addressed. I also felt that many staff members had close personal or family ties to the church community, which made it difficult for families outside of those circles to feel heard or supported. While the school presents itself as welcoming and student-focused, my experience was very different. I felt that promises made to our family were not honored and that tuition became the priority over the well-being of students. Based on my experience, I would encourage families--especially families of color--to ask detailed questions, pay close attention to how concerns are handled, and make sure the school's values align with their own before enrolling. I sincerely pray for healing, accountability, and positive change for the school community. God bless everyone involved. FYI Reviews were turned off, via Ms Krestler request. Think About It!!!!

We love Holy Redeemer School! It is an incredible, close-knit school with a community that is fully…read morecommitted to its success. At the time of this review, my kids are 6 and 9 (1st and 3rd grades). Both have attended the school since Kindergarten. My 6 yr old also attended Pre-K at Holy Redeemer. We were first drawn to HRS for its reputation in our neighborhood as being a welcoming school with a firm anti-bullying stance. The teachers and administration work hard to maintain a supportive learning environment where students feel welcome and wanted. What sets HRS apart from other area schools is its small class sizes, its balanced and integrated STEM curriculum, and its committment to developing the whole person. HRS students are some of the nicest kids I have ever met -- kind, excited about service opportunities, curious about their world, eager to help each other, excited about math! The teachers here are incredible educators that encourage collaboration and inspire a joyful curiousity in their students. What I love most about the school is how the teachers (due to the small class sizes and their tenure at the school) really know and look out for my kids. This personal attention has really helped my kids to thrive -- both academically and personally. I also work in a STEM field, and the administration and teachers are very open and receptive to my recommendations of activities/extra-curriculars. They have also granted me many opportunities to share my organization's work with the students - which is so fun! In short -- if you are looking for a welcoming school where your child can get a phenomenal eduction in a safe environment, please join us!

They have the opportunity to go to church activities and my teens get to be involved in sharing the Gospel with the community and being involved in Youth Group. The Fine Arts program is growing which gives the children more of an outlet to find their talents. The administration truly wants what has best for the students. We have moved many times over the years and this is our fifth Christian school and mine/and my children's favorite one.

Looking forward to this upcoming school year at LAE

As a parent who was looking to enroll her child at this elementary school I was immediately thrown…read moreoff and decided otherwise when I met the nasty and disgusting Ms. Hawkins. I'm assuming Ms. Hawkins is some low waged assistant who hates her job. I called to the school from 8/6-8/10/18 several times throughout the day to gain information about registering my child for this school. I got no answer and decided to take off a day of work to go to the school to gain information. When I arrived and explained that I called several times and had now taken off a day to come here, Ms. Hawkins was very rude and disrespectful. She completely ignored my comments and moved on to ask me what I wanted. I asked her if she in fact works during the week that I called and she stated that she did and moved on to ask what I wanted. Totally disregarded the fact that I has to take off work to get answers that she should have been able to answer over the phone if she was competent enough or actually at work. Ms. Hawkins is the sole reason that my child will not be attending this school. As the frontline she made a horrible representation of the school.

Nestled in the heart of Springdale, MD, this school is like a sitcom where the nerds and jocks are in a constant battle for the spotlight, and somehow, everyone comes out on top. Academic Adventures: At Flowers High, the education is top-notch, but the antics are even better. You'll find students sprinting to class like they're in a marathon, trying to avoid the dreaded tardy bell that seems to ring at the most inconvenient times. The hallways are a maze of lockers where students master the art of the last-minute cram session, trying to remember if the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell or just a fancy word for "energy thingy." The teachers? They're the real MVPs. With a knack for turning Shakespeare into a rap battle and calculus into a dance-off, learning has never been more entertaining. Forget boring lectures; at Flowers High, every class is a surprise waiting to happen. Who knew algebra could be so... algebraic? Great school, loved it and wouldn't have been the person I'm today, without going there!!!
