Terrible school! My children got bullied endlessly all year long. The teachers and principal did nothing to stop it. The teachers there are not trained properly and are just as immature as the students themselves. The students are not taught but instead given workbooks and told to teach themselves meanwhile the classroom is a free for all. When it came time to withdraw my students I was forced to pay money I shouldn’t have to pay or I would not have been allowed to withdraw them. On top of it most of the staff who worked there are now coming to work for the county school district. Even the employees have had enough of the terrible environment there. Please do not put your children in this school.

Where to start...this place, because in my opinion it shouldn't even be called a school...there's no real learning, no homework, no idea where my kid's grades came from. Kids "work" on workbooks on their own. The "teacher" is there to act as a an adult figure but they don't actually teach, they have smart boards but never use them. There's no engaging, no cooperative learning, no projects. The only elective was PE, no music or art class. My kid went months before he even did some math work. My kid had a total of about 4 teachers in one year, one male teacher for a semester and then about 3 others and every time they changed the teacher they never informed the parents, at one point I did not know who my kid's teacher was or his/her name . There was literally zero communication with parents, no weekly letters or monthly. They were supposed to start school in one campus and ended splitting kids by grade and sending them to different campuses for an entire semester. Did a meeting with the principal to share all my concerns and then wrote 2 emails to follow up with him and he never answer or reply. This was a sixth grade class, and they had a 4th grade student with behavioral concerns in this class for almost an entire semester causing many daily disruptions, and again parents were not made aware of this. In their disastrous open house the second semester, my kid's teacher was not even there. The classroom only had chairs and tables and the board. They didn't have a presentation to show or tell parents (or send it later via email or something)who they were as a whole school, explain their curriculum, and things like that, to tell us who is the staff that was working there. Nothing. So much more to say. So please do your research, ask lots and lots of questions, don't be fooled. It's really a shame. I never have seen a so called school be like this. I was able to talk to others parents and quickly found out that we were all experiencing the same thoughts, concerns, and opinions. As you can see, the other 5 reviews are from 5 years ago. This review is based on school year 2022-2023.

This used to be a nice school, long ago. The kids are way behind in academics and will never be able to compete in a college atmosphere. Don't believe me? Have your kid independently tested and get a score, they're at least two or three grades behind. They also take kids in from all over the area who have been expelled from public schools, making the atmosphere like a fight club. They have no ESE programs either. A group of investors own these schools and the Christian part is a gift for money. I'm not even sure anyone is licensed to teach. Find another school if you want your kids to succeed. If you're prepping them for prison, this is your place.

They just give the kids packets and babysit them. The teacher doesn't have a lesson plan and there is no schedule. This may be ok when the kids are toddlers, but by middle school and high school, they need more. There is just one or maybe 2 teachers to teach the whole grade, and they are not certified in all the subjects.
