The school is amazing…read more The staff is great, the school grounds are well kept and the kids that attend here are wonderful individuals. With my son being a freshman and not familiar with the private school life, a lot of things caught us off guard and overwhelmed us but from Mr. Clark (president and CEO) to Ms. Carter (Principal) to the administrative staff to the teachers, everyone has been patient, informative and understanding. My experience has been nothing but top-notch! Best private school in the area! Oh yeah, the football team is the BEST! Everyone here walks with an aire of proudness, of themselves and of their school!My son loves the family feel and the community of this school. Its like from jump, you know you're gaining a forever family! Mustang Spirit for LIFE!

I enrolled my daughter in the Academy for the summer camp. She have been having an amazing time…read more Often when children start a new school the transition process is usually hard. Not here. She went day one and was a little reluctant to leave me husband and I, but by the end of the day when it was time to go home she refused to leave and have been wanting to stay daily after school. The summer camp is very proficient and well planned out. The have been going on a lot of trips that are included in tuition. The trips are not limited to just having fun but also things like museum's for history knowledge to our young people. I tilt my hat off to all the staff at Clinton Christian School to accepting my daughter to the family and making her feel at home away from home. I am excited and looking forward to great successful upcoming school year.

My daughter attended this school from 4 thru 2nd grade. I must admit I was extremely impressed…read morewith my daughter's studies. The teachers were very engaged, even at a young age. I never felt like it was a daycare. She was always learning something new each day! I enrolled her in summer camp, which she really enjoyed, especially since she is an only child. My daughter took music lessons for the violin. I was amazed at her teacher's instructions and guidance. She not only taught my daughter how to play the violin, but to also read and write music; very impressive! We had bus service for morning pickup. Always on time, friendly driver who always provided a warm greeting. We had aftercare, so I picked her up. Unfortunately, during pickup my daughter would almost be in tears. I generally had to wait until the last kid left before she would want to go home. I didn't want to force her to leave her friends and go home to no child to play with. I always received assurance from the teachers that everything would be fine. They were. This is a top-notched school who cares about their students and their learning process. Although my daughter is much older, I had to circle back and give this review. Every dime I spent on my daughter's education, care and spiritual guidance given at Clinton Christian was well worth it. Anytime your child clings to her teacher at the end of the school year because she's going to miss her says a lot.

Eastern High School is a beautiful building on Capitol Hill East just a few blocks from the Stadium-Armory Metro Station. Behind its historic building is a football field that is open to the public to work out in when school is not in session. During the summer, I wake up at 6AM and watch the sun rise over the football field as I do my work out on the perfectly even grass and run a few laps around the track. I've seen others walk the bleachers for a good exercise.

I stopped somewhere and asked someone if they knew where a good track was to run and they pointed me to Ballou. The track here is GREAT! Given the neighborhood, I wasn't too sure if I'd find a decent track, but Ballou's got it! The turf was nice & new, the lanes were freshly painted, the bleachers were clean, etc. There were students & coaches on the football field, as well as a few people walking/running the track gettin their workout in. Everyone there was friendly. It really made for a great work out. We did our sprints, ran a few sets of bleachers & felt great! I would most DEFINITELY recommend Ballou's track if you are in the neighborhood & want to get a track work out in! (Also - The School kinda sits up on a slight hill, so if you want to get a little hill work out in, you can do that there as well!)

I enrolled my son in St. John based on wonderful reviews from parents I knew through my sons karate…read moreclasses. I was looking for a private school education that was religion based. When we toured the school everything looked to be in order the principal Mrs. Scott was very pleasant and had really updated the school over the last few years. The school was organized which my sons other school lacked. The beginning of school was great, orientation new parents learned all the rules of the school and the kids got a chance to meet their teacher and classmates. The week before school started at a meeting with the parents and teachers we found out that the kindergarten class had 28 kids in the class, mouths dropped and you heard a big gasp in the classroom. After the announcement parents started to look around and talk in smaller groups about how we are paying for a private school why are the classes so large. We were told that the classroom can hold up to 30 kids and if 2 more enrolled they would accept them at any time during the school year. This should have been my first red flag clue and I should have run for the hills with my refund check in my back pocket. The class size was so large they had to convert the library into the kindergarten room in order to accommodate everyone. The kindergarten class had 2 teachers in the room so should I say 1 main teacher and 1 aid. The first couple weeks of school went pretty smoothly my son was happy and during well, after those 2 weeks passed that was it his mood had changed. I begin getting phone calls on a daily basis from him teacher saying that he wasn't paying attention and making strange noises in class. This wasn't my kid they were talking about, he had been to school prior and they only thing he would get a note home for is talking to much (he's a chatty boy). The phone calls went on like this for days finally I met with the teacher and the lady really got under my skin saying that maybe there are problems at home that are causing him to behave this way and maybe you should have him speak with a professional. As a parent who has raised your child for 5 1/2 years with no prior problems like this you start to get a little red in the face and want to go on attack mode. I calmly told her thank you for suggestions I'll talk with my son. After a long conversation he told me he was disrupting the class because that was the only way to get the teachers attention. He never got called on to answer questions or write on the smart board for 56 days (the class did calendar every morning so they knew how many days they had been in school). It broke my heart to know that everyday a question was called on and his had would be up he was being picked over. This is a private school with 28 5-6 year olds, after looking at the other classes and talking with the parents it seemed that the class sizes were growing in every classroom and parents were frustrated. Besides the class size the curriculum was sub-par, my son was bringing home work he had done when he was 3 in pre-school. Oh the principal Mrs. Scott was a reputation of dodging parents and avoiding any questions. It's amazing what you find out after you get in the school, just because the wrapping on the outside is pretty doesn't mean the pieces inside aren't broken. I pulled my son from St. John the end of November and moved him into a wonderful Christian school where he has 13 kids in the class and his behavior changed over night. St. John was not a good fit for my family so good luck to you if you sign your child up. Also please ignore your child's teacher when they say he or she may be ADHD, I've been told multiple times those initials get thrown around a lot when a child "acts out" in class.

Our daughter went from an A student to a C student. My wife sat in the class for 10 minutes and could not believe how disrespectful the students were to the teacher. The teacher had no control and the learning environment was bad. The Principal did nothing. We pulled our daughter out and enrolled her in to St John's. The staff is great and we are very happy with the school. Down side is the 500.00 monthly payment. You get what you pay for.
