This school is supposed to be a Christian school, but it does not demonstrate Love. (They say they love you but love is an action word) Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. They did not display this to my child with ADHD. Although I offered support and requested that her behavioral therapist be able to come in to work with her. The entire semester was over when I was finally told that she could come in. By that time the semester was over,tge principal had no more patience for my daughter. They were irritable, keeping record of wrong. My daughter endured bullying but the Principal discounted my concerns and ignored my calls and texts. I complained that my child was being bullied. The principal said that she doesn't consider kids taking her lotion and throwing it around, kids yelling in her fac e, and putting their bare hands in her food taking it without permission, to be bullying. If my daughter said anything that was not nice she was in big trouble. If she would have done the same thing to them, it would be a big problem. My daughter left there emotionally, and mentally scarred. I took my daughter out because things were not fair because she was who she is. She was not favored at that school. (See demographics.) My daughter is african american. God shows Mercy and Grace but AVAS does not. My daughter is now being home schooled in a Christian Academy and is severely academically behind. She is in 6th grade, 2nd semester but AVAS has not taught her what her new school learned the 1st day of 1st semester. Very Disappointing

Bad curriculum, substitutes are family members of the principal and kids. Homeless camp next door , they are taught behind their grade (ex 7th grade being taught 5th grade stuff) principle makes bad choices they must have deleted my review but find another Christian school

I have two kids going in this school. I love the school and I want my kids to have a Christian base learning school. The staff and all the teachers are very caring and kind, they treat all the kids as their own. The school itself is secured . No school is perfect but what I can say, my kids they all grown to be a God fearing , loving and respectful and academically they are not far behind, they could compete with other school. Right now with the leadership of Mrs. Macias the principal you could expect a better learning and growth spiritually and academically.

Definite buyer's remorse with this school. They do well in selling you on what SHOULD occur on campus but what you get is a different story. My daughter is in 4th grade and this hands down has been the worst school year for her. Math is taught on a computer and the children are expected to learn without having been taught or introduced concepts. There's no structure or consistency in assignments. She's come home crying many times stressed out over the fact that her teacher isn't clear in explaining what is required in the assignments. Field trips are sprung on you at the last minute, and are unreasonably expensive. We're talking hundreds of dollars. The students in her class aren't passing standardized exams and it's a joke. They have excellent security but academically they are a sham.

There is a very positive feel on campus this year. My children are all challenged in their respective classrooms. I am very happy that my oldest will be well prepared for high school and beyond.

Checked them out a few years ago while looking for a school for my child. Seems to have lots of athletic programs but lacking academically. Ask for their API/Standardized testing results.

School is very small. Two grades being taught in each classroom with 5-8 students per grade. Not sure how one teacher can teach two different grades in one room with as much info that needs to be taught and varying abilities and student learning at differnt pace. Be aware before you put your child at this school...very very very very small class size.

Antelope Valley Adventist School has had three different principals in the last two school years. Called earlier this year and was given the name of the principal. He was differnt than the person I spoke with a few months earlier. Called today to get more info to see about my nephew being enrolled and was told there is yet another principal that started this school year. Not sure what's going on. If they can't seem to keep a principal longer than a term not sure my family should be at this school.

An awesome school. The staff is caring, very knowledgeable, and willing to teach outside of the box. My kids are being thoroughly educated and enjoying the experience. There are many extracurricular activities that further promote a sense of community among students and entire families. I highly recommend this Christian school.
