    Update as of 9/11/26 :…read more We have been so pleased with our experience this year and last. We now have a half day kindergartener and a prek4 student in MWF half day. Both of our children's teachers have been wonderful to deal with. Our children have various neurodivergences, we have felt heard and supported through this entire journey. I was able to meet 1:1 with both teachers to explain more about our children and their unique needs. Our kindergartener comes home every day with a new nugget of knowledge and plenty of fun stories from his day. Every school will have its flaws and its hiccups, but I truly encourage anyone who is interested in this school to just take a tour and see for yourself. It's a very positive environment that truly celebrates God. Many "Christian" schools seem to be really just Christian in name only. Not here. I have been very happy with the balance of their education. The class sizes have been perfect for us. Each year will bring different numbers of kids of course, but so far we have been happy with the balance. I have heard that they sometimes combine grade levels if there aren't enough kids in a certain grade. I haven't experienced that yet so I can't speak much on it, but what I will say is that is no different than the co-ops we have also evaluated. It's not an uncommon thing to do in these smaller environments. We do plan to continue with our children in the program next year as well.

    My stepson attended this school. The current head, Beverly Bandy, makes significant changes and…read moredoes not inform parents. I heard more about the changes from my stepson than her. We were told we would have small class sizes but his class had 18 kids. 4th and 5th grades were combined. The poor teachers are so overworked. When we brought out concerns to Mrs Bandy she was dismissive and rude. Unfortunately there has been in increase in violent crime and homelessness in the area so we had concerns about safety, Mrs Bandy was particularly nasty about it, saying we should trust more in God's plan. In September, they let go very valued staff including Jennifer Gray, Paule Jones, Scott Himel, Khadi Miller, and a preschool teacher. In the letter to parents Beverly sited low enrollment as the reason. Jennifer was instrumental in running things smoothly and helped us so much. She was the stability. Nurse Paule was so helpful! In summary, Beverly Bandy is ruining this school. She is changing it from an academic and Christ centered environment to only being concerned about money. Beware!!!

    You can't leave a review on Google so I will leave one here…read more This is our first time in this district, the school looks gross, the assistant principal has a unpleasant attitude and I was sent on a Mary go round just to speak to my son counselor about his schedule. 1. First day the assistant principal stopped me from going in to discuss his schedule she stated parents aren't allowed through the doors. It throw me off a bit so I asked is that because it's the first day she said no because it's middle school. This response was very snarky and unprofessional especially after I explained my child is new to the district. 2. My child is supposed to be in 3 honor classes. He's in none! I tried to discuss his scheduling with his counselor the day of orientation he told me to check the online website and it should be posted there. The schedule wasn't posted. Felt very brushed off while discussing how to obtain his schedule. 3. I tried to call the school to discuss my child schedule since parents aren't allowed in, the lady in the front desk had horrible phone etiquette, I explained I needed to speak to the counselor she did a cold transfer in hopes that the counselor picked up. He didn't. Called again, she transferred me to another counselor, he gave me the direct number to my child counselor, I called. No answer, called the school again just for the lady at the front desk who didn't provide her name state that oh the counselor is in a meeting. I'll have him call you back. Instead of me going round and around to reach this counselor she should've ensured he was available before sending me on a phone hunt. Strongly have a distaste in my mouth about this school. May transfer my child back to his previous district where they had amazing phone etiquette when you called, and didn't provide snarky answers to parents questions. I get this is middle school but the professionalism should still apply whether it's an elementary, middle or high school or even college.

    Was not happy with this school! Our son is special needs and is non verbal. He has a severe nut…read moreallergy and history of seizures. At the start of the school year I was picking my son up after school and did not see him. So I got out of my car to look for him and see him pacing back and forth. The teacher tells him I'm there and hurries him to come along. I thought maybe he had to go to the bathroom. She then tells me "he ingested a "small piece" of a nutter butter but spit it out and he's fine!" I tell her no he's not! And pick him up over my shoulder and race him to the nurse. Long story short-no signs were posted in classroom or at school about an allergy being in the class. A TEACHER'S AID gave him the snack because he "wanted it". No protocol was followed and they never even took him to the nurse to get looked at. It took me getting out of my car and seeing my son was not well and taking him myself. We were in nurses office for about an hour as he vomited and showed signs of possible seizure. All of this could have been prevented if they took the time follow directions. My son is ok now, but because of it being severe he could've died. The fact that he doesn't talk should've made his teachers more aware and take precautions. We met with principal and told them what happens, they said they would open an investigation about the incident.. got a call a few days later and was told our story checked out but no disciplinary action was taken against the teacher/teacher aid. We pulled him out of her school and transferred him!!
