Fantastic school with great teachers and administration. With the small class sizes and intimate student climate, every student has opportunities to succeed and find their passions in a variety of ways. Responding to the negative comments below, I see all of these complaints as irrational and without true proof of any real issue of the school. All of the issues that people are expressing are issues that have to deal more with lack of good parenting and responsibility. That being said, this school is not for everyone. One can get the most out of being a student here by embracing the great things that the school has to offer. I see some students holding themselves back by not wanting to find anything to enjoy and get out of their school experience.

The music department is terrible. The band is combined with all junior high and high school students, but only had like 15 people in 2017-2018. No one practices their instruments. No one pays attention to articulation, accidentals, rhythm, dynamics, or any sort of thing. Everyone just does their own thing. Some of the players don't even know if they're in tune or not. If there is a problem with the band's playing, we never fix it, because we never pay attention to it. It takes over four months just to get the notes down on a simple 2-3 page tune. There is also no orchestra of any kind. There is just a band, choir, and a women's ensemble. There are lots of bad things in this school, but I'm running out of time, and that's what I wanted to cover. If you're into music, don't go to this school.

To me, this school doesn't effectively deal with anything. It's an unprofessional environment and teachers talk about other student's grades and issues OPENLY. Some teachers primarily send kids home with piles of work due the very next day. Study guides, essays, ETC. I wouldn't recommend this school to anybody and only keep my kids here because they wouldn't be able to readapt to the real world as this school teaches them nothing. Only that the "Lord will protect you." The Lord protects us but he can't get us a job. (But apparently they can't give new teachers a job either)

Fresno Christian truly feels like a family. New students quickly make friends, even if they didn't at other schools. The teachers and staff practice what they preach. I was shocked when I read the other negative reviews, because I know for a fact that 90 percent of parents and students would disagree. All in all, I love FCS, and I'm so grateful that I get to be part of such a loving, supportive family. (Also, the sports and other activities at FCS are excellent.)

Don't let the school name fool you. Its all about the money at Fresno Christian. If you have plenty of it you will love going there. Otherwise it's going to be miserable.

Too many family members are involved in runnng the school. Everyone is related to everyone, not easy to be on the outside. Have their share of student problems, but they look the other way. State they have great test scores but never posted.

I love FCS... I'm a very involved parent and my son has been attending since K.. He is dedicated and continues to be obiedent during school, and homework. He has made a lot of friends since K, but sadly his best friends couldn't stay.. I'm pleased in the teachers, my son, and their dedication to each of the students in helping everyone learn more and more about christ.. No public school would ever offer this, not even prayer.. What my son is learning will carry him for a lifetime. I have read past reviews and feel very sad; if students are ot doing well, it' not on the teachers, the PARENTS NEED to take a active force, stay dedicated to helping their child/ren learn and inhance their academics.. When we fail, THEY WILL FAIL... Consistency is the key parents, tough love, and your own dedication to helping your own kids, and NOT GIVING UP ON THEM - GOD DOESN'T YOU SHOULD'NT EITHER... Single parent for my son...
