This school is not at all recommended because you have to buy expensive ass uniforms that are overpriced take the jackets for example they cost fifty dollars for ONE SINGLE JACKET like with those prices they better be some designer stuff. And dont even get me started on POWWOW that junk is a complete waste of time and last year when I attended the school my math teacher assigned over 120 IXLs and never taught the class.

Bishop Dunne Catholic School receives one star for several reasons. I can't believe they consider…read morethis institution a religious, private school, but have only demonstrated greed, evil, unrighteousness, unfair practices, and absolutely no empathy. Although, this high school has an amazing rigorous academic program, which as a parent that's what we strive for our children to immerse in. On the contrary, there are many other entities that a school should provide to a student and especially a great academic student and athlete. These students work extremely hard on many different levels and through adversity just to be treated as a dollar sign instead of a child trying to further their future and become a useful adult citizen. Every child enrolled should be treated as an asset instead of a check. However, as soon as a hardship arises they show no empathy and lack concern. They are even willing to stop instruction immediately and hold transcripts hostage if the outstanding balance is not paid in full. Even after pleading to possibly set up a payment plan, this school rejected the idea and offered no alternatives or resolution for the unforeseen, unfortunate circumstance. There was no mercy nor grace, and to me, that is a very false representation of what a school like this should stand for. There are plenty of other outstanding schools in the area, DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILDREN HERE!

Crossroads Academy is NOT a place you want to enroll your child. You'll be wasting a generous…read moreamount of money, but most importantly your child's ability to receive an education worth obtaining. I regrettably wasted my whole high school career attending this school, and have nothing to show for it. I certainly didn't learn anything, and was not up to date on my education as what I would've been if I would have attended a real public/private school. I enrolled in college after graduating, and had to take all remedial classes in order to learn and obtain the material I should've learned in high school. This is a daycare, not a school. As if being in an old bank isn't bad enough, none of their "teachers" are certified or have teaching degrees. Mrs. Lowe and Mr. Lowe are in this business for all the wrong reasons. They care nothing about your child, or your child's education. Their ONLY concern is the money. I had people in my graduating class, who I had not seen or known the WHOLE school year. If your child needs to graduate, hasn't attended school all year, or for many years, you can come here the day before graduation, pay Mrs. Lowe off, and lo and behold, your child will be walking across the stage with a high school diploma the next day. They are crooked, and spawns of the devil. I was physically assaulted my senior year by Mrs. Lowe's husband, Mr. Lowe, in a class room, and had another student as a witness. I pressed charges against him, and was FORCED by Mrs. Lowe to drop the charges in order to be able to return to school, and be able to graduate that year. She threatened to make my life a "living hell" and put an "educational block" on me so I wouldn't be able to attend another school and obtain a diploma without dropping the charges. Mr. Lowe has sexually harassed girls attending the school, offered to sell his prescription pills to the class, has cussed, and verbally abused MANY students at the school. During the three (3) years of attending Crossroads Academy, I saw things people couldn't even phantom would happen in what's supposed to be a "safe-place" for your child, and an establishment that your child should be obtaining an education at. If you were to drug test the staff, and people "running" this school, you would not be impressed with the results. During my years, I saw on many occasions where the staff and "teachers" have bought drugs and other illegal substances from STUDENTS attending the school. Many others, and myself, have obtained many, many, many, audio and video recordings of how the staff treats their students, and the way they talk to them. So just a word from the wise, DO NOT enroll your child in this "school." You'll regret it, and cost your child a big part of their life.

The Superintendent of Faith Family Academy purchased a home worth over a million dollars in…read moreDecember 2020, yet under her leadership the school has earned an "F" rating for three consecutive years. Parents who want to verify these failing scores will struggle to find them, as the Superintendent refuses to post them publicly as required. Her contract guarantees a base salary well above $300,000 per year, and with benefits and incentives she takes home over $500,000 annually. The contract protects her from ever receiving a pay cut--she is only eligible for raises, even as student outcomes continue to decline. How does someone get rewarded more for consistently failing students? The school board is no better. Roughly half of the board members responsible for financial oversight are her own family, and about three-quarters (still a part of her family) of the board work/preach at the same church, creating obvious conflicts of interest. Instead of prioritizing students and parents, Faith Family Academy has become a system that profits off the backs of Black and Brown children while delivering little in return. Adding to the hypocrisy, the Superintendent's own children do not attend Faith Family Academy. They are enrolled in private school. If Faith Family Academy is supposed to be a "top-class" institution, why wouldn't her own family attend? The reality is clear: while other people's children are left behind, her children are given the best opportunities money can buy--opportunities funded by taxpayers who were promised something better.
