Its always interesting to go back to your old high school to see the vast improvements that were…read moremade and to take a trip down memory lane. I graduated back in 2005, and I came to watch my little brother wrestling match. The match was held in a new auditorium that was built a few years after I had left. I couldn't see much of the school to get a view of the other improvements made but one of the more noticeable was the gate that surrounded the school. I guess its just show the time that we live in now.

This school is known for its blatant racism. I personally experienced and know others who have as…read morewell. The racism came down from the faculty to the kids attending and their parents. Nothing was done when issues of racism and bullying were brought to the principal's attention. Nothing was done to make it a safe and supportive environment for children of color or kids of from lower income families. Over the years I have continued to hear stories similar to mine. The sentiment I got is that they will gladly take your money, but not care for the wellbeing of your kids nor create an environment conducive for their spiritual growth... which is the whole point of sending them to a Christian school. I do not recommend anyone enrolling their child here.

If I could give this school a negative 1000 I would. I went here some time ago and to this day I…read moreregret it. My family was told that the children of color were being mistreated and we didn't listen. I was bullied by the children and faculty. There is nothing about this school that is Christian-like. The history teacher, Mr. Larson, said in class that all black people are on welfare, Mexicans need to learn English and that the Holocaust was simply survival of the fittest and to be proud to be German. This teacher was never fired nor reprimanded as far as I know. I was called the N-word multiple times and when my father talked to the principal about it the principal said, "Well aren't you Polynesian" because my father is. Wasn't concerned at all about my well-being or the behavior of the kid who called me racial slurs he was more concerned about me getting over it. I've gotten updates on the school over the years and keep hearing numerous horrendous stories about other kid's of color experiences. Another black family pulled their kid out from the school this semester (Fall 2022). The school upholds racism and has created a hostile environment for kids of color. All people should avoid this school. Oh and when my mother complained about this school because of my experience they contacted her and said "I'm sorry you feel that way". Not sorry your daughter experienced such horrific treatment. It's slap after slap in the face with this place.

Choosing Jim Elliot High School was the best decision for our family; our daughter is truly…read morethriving here, and yours can too! As parents, we were looking for a school that doesn't just teach academics but actively walks alongside families to equip students in their faith and social lives. Because it is a smaller, Christ-centered community, every student is deeply known, mentored, and cared for by a staff that is firmly grounded in their faith. What makes the Elliot experience special: * Spiritual Growth: Weekly chapels and intentional small groups provide a space for students to be equipped and grow in their walk with Christ. * Intentional Mentorship: The teachers and coaches are incredible mentors. Our daughter was on the cheerleading squad, and the coaches did so much more than teach technique--they encouraged and challenged her spiritually throughout the season. * Academic Excellence: The school is WASC accredited, offering College Prep, Honors, and AP courses to ensure students are ready for the future. * The "Full" High School Experience: Don't let the small size fool you! Students have incredible opportunities to get involved through: * Athletics: Cross country, flag football, volleyball, cheer, basketball, softball, baseball, and golf. * Student Life: Formal dances, pep rallies, and various clubs. If you are looking for a place where your child will be challenged academically, supported spiritually, and given the chance to participate in all the "fun things" high school has to offer, I highly encourage you to visit Jim Elliot. It is a wonderful community where your student can truly belong.

Every staff member exemplifies and encourages biblical principles during instruction time and during every interaction during the school day. My son has been positively empowered to become who God has destined him to be, be it, while in class, during school events, and off campus. We take Jim Elliots' spirit with us even into our community during outreach. It's an incredible school, no other like it. There are several sports you can join, and everyone makes the team. Many students receive award recognition as well as full scholarships to prestigious colleges, like Jessup and many others. I highly recommend you enroll your student and become an Elliot Eagle, Today!

My kiddos definitely had different experiences there because of the kids and types of families in the class. My eldest, the parents in the class were horrible! Uppity, judgmental and snooty. Horrible people who acted like their kids are impressionable (not!). I've actually learned later on that their kids were horrible bullies, which is not surprising considering how their moms acted (the dads were fine, moms were drama). If their kid's status was threatened by a smarter, more athletic child, best believe some moms in that class won't hesitate to bully a 12 year old. My youngest, on the other hand, had an amazing time at STA. Her class was tight knit thanks to better parents with excellent parenting and people skills. It was an inclusive and supportive group. They were focused on the kids and not the parent clicks. Definitely a night and day experience.

The school has helped our son grow not only academically, but also as a person, bringing a sense of light and joy into his life that carries over into our home every day. St. Peter provides an excellent balance between strong academic standards and the development of character and values. The foundation of faith is thoughtfully integrated, helping students build a moral compass rooted in kindness, respect, and compassion. Even for families who may not be particularly religious, the emphasis on values and personal growth is incredibly meaningful. The school nurtures children to become happy, loving, and thoughtful individuals who understand what truly matters. We feel incredibly fortunate to be part of the St. Peter community. It has truly been a blessing for our family, and I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Long story short, DO NOT bring your kids to the tour if you want to be offered enrollment. I'm…read morewriting this to inform and share my experience I had with St. Peter's administrative staff. I am not a parent at St. Peter's just tried to enroll my kids because our school shut down. I scheduled a tour for a Friday with Terrie Hinders and I brought my two kids with me so they could see the school also. They were very excited to meet new staff and see potential classrooms. As we were touring their future classrooms the girls were checking out all the fun stuff that the classes had to offer including touching items in the classrooms that would be available to them next year. We then scheduled to come back and take the assessment test on Monday. Terrie also informed me that the assessment test is not a make it or break it. There's two different classes for elementary school and they split the classes by gender and intelligence. Staff will also move your child halfway through the school year if they feel they aren't excelling in the class they started in. We came back Monday went through with the assessment test and she said we would know the results tomorrow. Tomorrow came and no call or email. Throughout the week I called and emailed with no answer about the test. It took over a week to get voicemail back informing us that we were not going to be offered enrollment . So of course I want to know why so I called and actually got to talk to her finally after a week. The reason my kids didn't get accepted is because when I went on the tour with them on Friday they touched stuff in the classrooms that wasn't theirs. Items available to students if they were in said classroom. So technically playing with toys in future classrooms they were viewing/touring. They're 5 and 7. She also mentioned touching something on the teachers desk that wasn't theirs while the teacher was in her classroom talking to girls at her desk. So if that wasn't enough, if they decided that Friday why would you waste our time and string us along including coming back on Monday to take an assessment test and waiting over a week for results when you already made a decision. Then telling me if I didn't bring them to the tour this would probably be a different outcome. So just a warning to all future parents of St. Peter's if you're going in to tour the school don't bring your kids. The minute that you walk through the doors they're judging you so tread lightly.
