As a former student and parent of a current student, I am impressed with the growth of the non-academic activities offered as well as the expanded academic offerings. The Christian based education is such a blessing and I know that I am giving my children a great start here.

After a miserable year in a local public school, we knew we had to find a new school for our daughter. God led us to East Rankin Academy. The first time we visited the school, we left knowing this was where we wanted our daughter to be. That was over five years ago. We have never had a single regret.

I am currently a student at ERA. I am pleased with my school in every way. The student body is increasing. The facilities are expanding. The athletics are quickly climbing a steep slope.

My child is a student at era - having transferred from a public school. Academically this school is hard, which is good; however i must emphasize its up to him/us to catch up. No the teachers have not tried to work one on one or offered any outside help. Sports program is awful - no emphasis at all

As a former student at ERA, I highly recommend this school. Even though it seemed academically hard, it truly made me more than prepared for college (which seems so easy).

My advice is to start your kids off in kindergarten here if you are going to send them at all because these elementary students seem more academically advanced than those of surrounding schools, and you would not want your kid to be left behind even though the teachers would work one-on-one with your child. Extracurricular activities are growing more and more each year. Again this is a great school. Read less
