My review is based on the cleanliness and beautification of this school and I do not know anyone…read morewho attends and/or works at this school. Overall, I came here for my daughter's Volleyball game and it is a beautiful school with a small gym but very clean. I like how there was also a food truck there as well. The only reason why I did not give it a 5 star is because the parking stalls are a bit compact (and being that I am originally from Hawaii, we have compact stalls there) and someone scratched my car when they opened their door.

Not the worst, but far from what it should be…read more I'll be honest--I wanted to love this place. At first glance, it checks some important boxes: clean buildings, a decent variety of after-school programs, and a lot of buzz about being "one of the better schools" in the area. But after spending real time here, that reputation doesn't hold up under closer inspection. The good stuff? Sure, it's there. The campus is well-kept and looks great, and my kids have genuinely enjoyed a few of the clubs they've tried. I'll also say that some of the teachers are passionate and communicative. You can tell they care. But unfortunately, the strong ones feel outnumbered by the ones who seem to have checked out. And that's where things start to unravel. Too often, we've seen teachers point fingers at students or parents instead of taking ownership when something clearly goes wrong in the classroom. That mindset makes it hard to trust the process. Meanwhile, the people running the show? It feels like their main goal is image control. Even when serious concerns are raised, the focus shifts to silencing criticism instead of solving problems. Don't even get me started on the pickup line. It's pure chaos. Traffic spills into the streets, everyone's blocking everyone else, and there's no system in place to fix it. You'll spend 30+ minutes in your car daily, just hoping no one gets into an accident. As for academics, it's hit or miss. In some cases, the material seems to come straight from pre-made internet templates--no adaptation, no passion, and sometimes, no clear understanding of the topic from the person teaching it. Honestly, I've found better explanations on YouTube. Other things worth noting: There have been situations involving extremely unprofessional conduct between staff members--yes, during the school day. I've also seen confidential student information passed around carelessly, which is incredibly upsetting for any parent. And the school's reaction to these concerns? Defensive. Instead of addressing the issue, they turned their attention to the parent who spoke up, even threatening to revoke their campus access. That says a lot about their priorities. Bottom line: There are bright spots here, but they're clouded by serious problems in leadership, culture, and accountability. If you're considering this school, go in with your eyes wide open. It might look good on paper, but reality paints a more complicated picture.

My son has ADHD, and the teachers and staff have worked closely with both of us to make sure he has…read morethe support and resources he needs to be successful. I truly appreciate the communication from his teacher, the IEP team, and everyone involved. They have always made me feel like we were working together to help my son thrive. The school also does an amazing job creating fun events for families, like the book fair, Books & Burgers, the Halloween Bash, and so much more. These events make learning exciting, and my son genuinely loves going to school. I feel incredibly grateful that my son was selected through the lottery to attend Somerset Academy Lone Mountain. Thank you to all of the teachers and staff for making his kindergarten year such a positive and memorable experience. We are excited for first grade!

This is my second review of this school and this is my experience only if your child is black do…read morenot send them to this school. My baby attends this school and she will not be returning next year. Today they went on a field trip where they walked to the Santa Fe to watch a movie. All the kids parents and teachers where there walking with the kids. After the teacher which I won't say her name but posted almost 20 pictures of all the kids sitting down eating their popcorn and having a good time. My baby wasn't in not one of those pictures to the point I had to call the school and ask was she even there. That upset me so bad and really there is nothing they can say to make me understand this. I would never send my kid back to this school I thought I was sending her to a good school but this school is not it. I'm very disappointed.

First off most of the teachers are great. The problem lies with administration. The counseler we…read morewill call Mrs. B is horrible and does not help address the needs of students. Just a little more we asked her to be an advocate for our student with a teacher and an unfair grading policy. She refused to assist or get involved. Thankfully our student still graduated in the top 50! She is not an advocate for the students and simply doesnt do her job. This school has great students who are very successful but I could only imagine what they could accomplish if the administration and counselers truly cared. P.S. I was shocked to hear boo's at graduation after they mentioned Mrs. B's name. Felt reassured that it wasnt just my opinion.

I actually haven't had a child attend this school but I have met with the principal, Mr. Wipperman…read more I really do think he really cares about the concerns parents have on their children's behalf. He is a father and understands the trials we face with kids. I think principals make a huge impact on a school, from what I have experienced, Mr. Wipperman is a wonderful principal. I do wish CCSD would let the principals make more decisions on what's best for their school, since our school district is so controlled and huge here it makes it tricky.

Disregard the review of this school being a Christian school. It's absolutely not. We have…read moreexperienced this school teaching our children many different religions. That is because it's a classical academy and it's purely using America's history and how we were founded as a country. Christianity is definitely part of that history. If you're looking for more inclusivity for this day and age stuff I wouldn't enroll your child in a "classical" academy.

HORRIBLE SCHOOL!!!! Firstly, they don't say on their website that it's a Christian school - THAT IS…read moreEXTREMELY IMPORTANT INFORMATION WHEN SENDING YOUR CHILD FOR AN EDUCATION!!!! They say it's "a division of Hillsdale College," but if you don't look up the college, there's nothing to tell you it's a Christian school. If you WANT your kids to have a religious education that's fine, but I do not have those beliefs and nothing showcased this as a major part of school before Meet the Teacher. I was initially mislead about the school being free by an office employee who said I could get my kids in for their new highschool a couple of years ago. She said it was free (was SO much money for uniforms - THEN THE UNIFORM STORE SHUT DOWN) and she also gave no impression it was a Christian school when she described classes and operations. The teachers could not debate my 15 year old daughter, who was bullied and debated nonstop by peers because of her different beliefs. She had such excellent grades the administration literally begged her not to leave the school, but there was no way I would torture my kids with a second year in that vile environment. The school lunches were super low grade and barely edible. Even the vice principal acknowledged how nasty the food tasted in a meeting with me and she advised we bring lunch from home if we wanted it to taste good. Also, the teachers never communicated when there were issues with grades, they ONLY contacted parents for disciplinary issues. My son was failing a bunch of classes and ZERO teachers had contacted me about any of it! Oh, not to forget: on the VERY first day of school (24-25) an old female teacher GRABBED my daughter and yelled at her until she cried because she said "sh*t" while there were smaller kids outside, even though they were far away and could not hear and were not in any way paying attention to my daughter. Absolutely ridiculous from start to finish. Mr. Allread is a joke terrible teacher: he cried when he couldn't debate my daughter, even though she wasn't wrong AND when my son was failing so badly his grade was a single digit, Allread didn't even tell me. This is the WORST place to send your kids if you want them to thrive. They beat down individuality and force same-ism and same-think and that is HORRIFYING. And they ARE absurdly strict about the dress code, SO unnecessary. The pickup is a complete disaster, stretching for literally miles down the road, for like an hour. My son has a peanut allergy and some other kid wipes peanut butter on his shirt at lunch and his teacher refused to let him go to the nurse and he broke out in hives. I know this has been kind of all over the place, but there were just SO MANY things awful about Founders. I got my kids out as fast as I could. The ONLY reason they stayed the year was because I didn't want to send them to the worst highschool in town, but honestly I think they would have had a better year if they had gone ANYWHERE else, for their education and their enjoyment.

Don't listen to all of these reviews if you want a real honest side of it here you go: I'm a 6th…read moregrader currently, and I just honestly want to go. The counselor doesn't even care, my 8th grade brother got 3 detentions for 3 days straight just for being tardy to class 5 times, and my mother told the vice principal that he shouldn't even have those. he doesn't do drugs nor vaping, my mom kept straightening him up and as she walked out he said "Just an FYI we control the street lights, so the children could be late, in the morning". My mother told counselor but all she said was "That's just the rules, I'm sorry sweetheart" like they were playing dirty (which they were). After all that they changed his 3 detentions to 2 detentions. And on top of that the teachers practically, only support the "pretty" girls or the "pick me" girls. And most of the teachers support either white kids or Hispanic kids. And this has right in front of my own eyes. The art teacher smelt something funny, and started coughing. While my black friend was just laughing with her other friend, she doesn't vape nor do drugs. The art teacher gave her the dirty look and called over assistance for a staff member to drop off my friend to the principal's office. The art teacher KNOWS that my friend doesn't vape, she pays attention in class (or else why is she so GOOD at art?) so instead of finding out who it is, she chooses my friend, who is black. And if the skinny girls wear booty shorts or a top that is the size of a bra, they don't get dress coded however if a girl with larger thighs wears perfectly fine shorts: detention! And the really disgusting thing that bugs me is the predo staff supports or gives high fives to the Latin/Spanish/Mexican girls and one time I was wearing shorts the teacher's assistant standed right there behind me the whole class period (1 hour) and he kept hyping me up, saying things like "You got this!" or "Good job!". Please do NOT let your child come to this school, and with all that the school juices kids for money: yearbooks are $50-$60, a super small bag of chips $2, etc. And they also violate the CCSD rules. On their afternoon videos it says "if you buy our $20 beanie, you get it inside!" which is crazy. And to pay to see your child preform on the stage (for the Shrek play) you have to pay money?! Also, the school is not great with bullying, water (the water comes out with dirt), the rooms are going mold (the art teacher got sick, from the mold), the bathrooms are not in good condition, and the A/C doesn't work.*In gym, if you look up there is TONS of visible black mold.(Also if you want to join the cheer team you have to pay a fine for $500, art $25, choir $10-$15.) DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD HERE PLEASE AND THANKS! #My brother got milk that was like cottage cheese.
