My daughter has been in this school since third grade. She spends every day in the classroom and…read morenot in detention, therefore she receives the quality education Holy Child Jesus Catholic Academy has to offer. There is a strong anti-bullying policy which is necessary in all schools. If you put enough children of the same age in the same room there are always issues no matter what school they attend. What matters is how the issues are handled on an administrative level. In my experience, I have no complaints about the administrative department and its workers including the principal. My child loves her school and could not see herself going anywhere else but Holy Child Jesus Catholic Academy through graduation.

If you are thinking of enrolling your child in this school just run the other way. This school,…read morediscriminates against any child with ADHD, learning disabilities, or any other condition that requires extra help in the classroom. They do not want these types of students and will treat your child unfairly as a way to push you out. The bullying is ridiculous and some of the teachers are just as bad as the children when it comes to bullying students. Some teachers just yell all day, others inappropriately yap about their personal love lives to the students when they should be teaching class. However, this school, and more specifically the principal, also has a serious problem with favoritism and if you are not someone who has multiple generations of family who attended this school, has plenty of free time to volunteer, or a ton of money to donate then good luck to you. Your concerns will not be taken seriously. I had such a bad experience with this school that I have been turned off from Catholic education all together. I thought the smaller school setting would be better for my child, however the small setting was just a catalyst for cliques to develop and a "no new kids wanted" mentality.

We found that and so much more at Grace Christian Academy. The classical Christian approach utilized at GCA not only challenges our children, but has molded them into so much more than what we bargained for. We've noticed changes in character, maturity, discipline as well as a dramatic change their work ethic as well. The work load at GCA is heavy and extremely challenging, but also well balanced and geared toward equipping a child's mind to becoming not only successful as an adult, but impacting the world through the eyes of God's Word.

Most of them are just there to gain some teaching experience and then move on to better schools. while your child is treated like a test subject. I doubt half of them are even licensed. It honestly feels like you've brought your child to a grocery store, not a school. The state should seriously look into this place. it's not an educational institution, it's a business running on transactions and shortcuts. They even put kids from different grades in the same classroom, like 6th and 7th and 8th grade together, with one teacher handling it all. How is that fair or effective? Stay away and save yourself the regret.

This private school/synagogue does not care about the quality of life in the neighborhood where it…read moreis located. There are residential homes locate all around the private school/synagogue. Most Saturday nights Temple Beth Sholom's ballrooms are rented out for parties. These parties are very loud and last until the early morning hours. Music and party noise can be heard on the surrounding public streets and from nearby homes. Alcoholic beverages are served at these parties as well. Noise complaints have been reported to the authorities, but apparently they do not care because these party continue to happen every Saturday night. This neighborhood has many elderly residents and young children. Sleep is a basic necessity, not a luxury. So before you consider having an event planner organize your party here please ask yourself these questions: Would you tolerate this quality of life issue in your own neighborhood every Saturday night? Is your temporary enjoyment worth disturbing the peace in someone else's neighborhood? Please have your party at a place that is not near a residential neighborhood.
