My experience at this school has been largely positive - it's hard to beat the sense of community and togetherness at this school!

My daughter was constantly bullied by her teacher and when I approached the principal | was blown off. The pure lack of biblical understanding is apparent when you attend there. I had to spend the last year helping my daughter heal from the hurtful way she was treated. I expected more from a school that claims to be Christian but this is just another high priced private school that has nothing to do with helping your child to learn more about Christ. Very disappointed to say the least.

Everything they do is marked by excellence, from academics to extracurriculars and spiritual development. As parents, we couldn't be more grateful for the way SCA partners with families in raising kids who love Jesus. The Christ-centered education and intentional discipleship have had a profound impact on our children, not only in their learning but in their faith. They come home excited about what they're learning and growing deeper in their walk with God.

The teachers often come across as rude and seem more focused on enforcing dress code policies than providing quality education and meaningful lessons. The school also does not reflect the Christian values and kindness it claims to promote. Everything seems centered around money, and some wealthy families appear to receive special recognition not because of their children's achievements, but because of their financial donations to the school. Overall, this has been a very discouraging experience for our family.

The only noticeable distinctions are the heavier workload, limited opportunities for social interaction during the day, and additional fees--for example, charging $75 just to allow casual dress, despite already paying a substantial tuition. Even chapel, which should be a central part of the school's identity, only takes place once every other week. Families like mine are investing in this school expecting consistent spiritual growth, not minimal engagement. There needs to be a stronger commitment to both academic balance and faith-based education.

So, I don't wanna sound like some random upset teenager who just doesn't like middle school in…read moregeneral, but Cocopah is really not the best for some people. And I would STRONGLY advise this comment should be read if you are interested in enrolling your child. I have witnessed many students being bullied to the point of suicidal thoughts and the teachers do absolutely nothing. The community in general are actually not the nicest people anyway. Also, there is not currently a nurse?? My younger brother is in seventh grade and nearly everyone isn't doing that well academically. Also, I've noticed some of the staff seemed to not care that much due to how much students they have. When I was here, only one staff member actually checked up on me and my friend (nope not the counselor) I remember I was doing very bad in math and not the best grade in ELA, both of the teachers were late to the student conference (and left early) that I had scheduled a week before, rude much. Also, they have a very interesting mindset, especially counselors, they would constantly guilt trip and gaslight me and my parents into constantly putting me in honors (which was definitely not a good idea) just add one more thing. This school is HUGE along with Chaperel, which it feeds into. So I don't entirely blame the teachers for being overwhelmed. But yet again, this is the job they signed up for, and they must have proper work etiquette. There is also a problem in eighth grade with pressuring into vaping and teen s*x which is not managed as much as it should. A lot of the kids there are a very bad influence. (and I'm not trying to be a saint, it's genuinely bad.) they should also be a bit stricter on the dress code, I mean, you can wear practically anything, and a lot of people bullied because they don't have a certain (expensive) clothing item. I know this is long, but it's very important and I could add a lot more. My family certainly got fed up with it and we switched in the eighth grade. I would overall not recommend this school sorry if this offended anyone. (one more thing, READ THIS apparently this school doesn't do much of a background check on its teachers since they literally hired someone who was addicted to child p*rn and g*re (shout out to Michael Gill I hope you rot in jail )

Horrible school. Horrible teachers. Horrible principal. Spineless principal who covers for ignorant…read moreteachers who pick on children they've decided they don't like. Teachers who attempt to intimidate the children and parents in meetings then get shown proof of their lies and manipulation and "Mr. Shrimp" principal goes "shocked" faced and pretends it's all new to him. Teachers who literally hate kids and treat them like crap are teaching here. Lazy and never update grades in their "awesome" app and when asked why they aren't up to date, blame the kids. Constant emails that go unanswered. Teachers giving excessive homework with unrealistic due dates (some with so much work that has to be "done only in class") and give no time in class to do it so kids have to give up their lunch and after school to complete it. Kids in tears because it's too much and teachers expectations are absurd THEN don't put the grades in the grade book because they "can complete it on their own schedule" causing kids to stress out and are upset their grades look like failing grades. SUSD has dropped the ball here and I will tell everyone every chance I can what a sh*tty school this is.

Most of my teachers loved making learning in the classroom very fun and interesting. The "specials" teachers were amazing and helped me figure out the kind of stuff I love to do. I realize that the school has had a few changes in teachers and principals but I still consider it to be a GREAT school. I made many good memories and have very good friends that I grew up at the school. I always look forward to going back and visiting my teachers. So again I would recommend this school to anyone!

Truly, so many wonderful things about this place! The school is always locked, the opportunity to donate to various causes is always there, and it is very patriotic! My only negative, many people here park in the No Parking, fire lanes. No one at the school does anything about it. No duty aides outside moving cares, notes, or anything to stop the behavior. I asked once and was told "it's always been like that, people don't listen". As a fire wife, this frustrates me to end! I want to know my daughter is safe in her class and has FULL access to emergency personnel if needed. Other than that, we really love being apart of this school!

Overall, I had a pleasant experience being at NPX and graduating in 2025. However, there are a few…read morethings you should know about. For one, there are certain challenged children in the school that make it quite difficult to safely learn. I remember back in my wee ol days of freshman year, one of my fellow students threw a rock at my teacher. Another separate incident with a different student involved said student shoving another kid's hydroflask as far as he could down the toilet pipes, effectively disintegrating our school pipes. The same kid that threw the rock as mentioned previously, performed a parkour routine in the bathroom that led to 4 critically injured and one still in a coma to this day. I was one of the unfortunate souls affected by this great tragedy, otherwise known as "The Great Bathroom Reckoning". I think the teachers are great, save for one in specific that had a thing for kids, along with another teacher who steals baby photos and keeps them in their personal collection. The food they offer at lunch is decent at best. I once contracted Aids from one of their sandwiches, which ended up making sure I will never bear a child. They have since patched this glitch, and have been supplying better food since that incident. However, the vending machines are very expensive, and are likely linked to human trafficking. This has yet to be proven, but is actively being investigated upon by local authorities. Finally, the school dances. I simply requested that they play a certain jack black song, only for them to instead play Benson Boon and California Women. The events are often lackluster, aside from the occasional moment where the aforementioned mentally unstable children will partake in fights to the near death on top of the roof, whilest streaming it live on instagram for their fanbase to witness. I used to be one of these, the common riff raff, but have since changed my ways after I got hit on the head with a 15 pound rock so hard, I developed memory loss and forgot that I was kind of special. One last thing. There was an incident where I was happily eating my Thursday pizza slices (which sadly the school had cheaped out on that specific day), where a teacher came up to me and started calling me a big back and told me I reeked of calories. I still talk to my therapist about that to this day. Overall, I think NPX is a good place to send your kids, but be weary at the cost of good education.
