I give this school a zero, I know private schools mean that you get to pick who gets to attend. Let me tell you though they are very rude if they find out you want a special needs child to attend that might need a teachers aid!!!

I am a parent of 3 children who have atended and are attending SCS. Our oldest son graduated in 5/2009 and attended for 6 years. We are not members of Sumiton Church of God, we are not from the Sumiton community, nor are we wealthy. When he transferred to SCS as a seventh grader, he was welcomed

His answer was always, 'no way!' He loved the experience he had at SCS and excelled acedemically, socially, and spiritually. He earned scholarship offers and will begin college in a few weeks. As for my other 2 children, they will continue to attend SCS and I hope their experience will be as good as the first. Read less

This school is nothing special over the local public schools. Math & Science are mediocre, and teachers seem to be henpecked by an overbearing administration. Save your money. Walker High School & Corner High School near by have better test scores & offer your student many more options than cliques

I am an alumna from Sumiton Christian. I had a great educational experience at this school despite the normal high school dramas. The curriculum was competitive and/or better than those of the surrounding schools. It was evident all of the teachers and faculty really cared for the students. In hind sight,
... Read more I have found that many of the teachers have made huge sacrifices to follow their calling to this school. The extracurricular activities were amazing and had made way for leadership and teamwork qualities to be shaped in my character. Most importantly, I was giving a reinforcement and a foundation of God's word. Those who actually attempted and completed their own work benefited from this educational opportunity and have become great success stories since in their post-high school years. I highly recommend it for those in the Sumiton/Dora area. Read less

You will not find a better well rounded school then SCS. The leadership of Mrs. Capps and the staff is excellent. NO other school compares with the education level that the students get from K5 to 12th grade. I am living proof that your child success does not depend on how much money you make or who

I have mixed feelings about my daughter's experience at SCS. While I believe her education (she attended K5-12th) was top notch, the stress and drama she experienced from select students is a harsh trade off for the quality education. Even though major problems were reported to the powers that be,

It is amazing to me that my daughter is now a sophomore in college and LOVES the experience, but still literally has nightmares about her ordeals at SCS. Bottom line, it was our experience that if you are either wealthy or a good athlete, you answer to NO ONE. Read less

My daughter started K-3 this year at Sumiton Christian and absolutely loves it. Everyday she comes home telling me things that she has learned. The Pre-K teachers are wonderful and are very structured and organized. It almost seems like a miracle to get a room full of 3 year olds to follow instructions,
