I would highly recommend PCS for Christian families. The elementary school is first class starting in Pre-K through 5th grade and the teachers are dedicated and loving. The academics taught are the traditional 3R's with a Biblical emphasis woven throughout each subject. The students test higher than

The Jr High & High School are also outstanding with teachers who care about the kids and do an excellent job of teaching, particuarly in math, science and history. The school is run with loving discipline and the behavior of the students shows respect for teachers and the rules. The sports program and extra activities all promote a family atmosphere and I love having all of my children together in the same school. Read less

I am a former student and I would definitely recommend attending PCS. I had great teachers who not only taught me the subjects, but also made me think, not just memorize information. I realize that it's a little cramped sometimes but the quality of education and caring teachers are totally worth a

I attended this school from 7th-12th grades. I strongly urge parents to look into other Christian Schools in the area (e.g.Hawthorne) even if it is a bit further. PCS is a legalistic, extreme environment with a very poor curriculum. Even with above avg SAT scores (I took an outside study course) and

I love this school! I'm 9th grade student there and have been going there since PreK! the atmosphere between stuent and teacher is great and the teachers always have a Bibical reason for the way they run they're classrooms. the Bibical knowledge is great (we learn about the bible in evey subject and

I love this school so much that I want my future kids to go there and teach there as a junior high/ high school teacher for history and literature. Read less

As a past student of PCS, I can tell you PCS teaches children rules and not a relationship with God or to think for themselves. The ciriculum is lacking greatly. For example, the English ciriculum teaches diagraming up until 12th grade. It focuses little on relevant literature or writing.

Our son has been going here for about 2 years and we like it so far. The classrooms are a little cramped, but they're talking about adding on. The teacher has been very patient with him as he has some special needs and they do get outside help for special needs students. I like that they

One thing that stinks is you have to drive your kids to school, but you might get money from your local school district if your kids normally would take a bus. There are uniforms, but they look pretty nice and they're not too expensive. I like the fact that they pray at the beginning of the day and that lots of the subjects have a Biblical theme in them (even the science and history). I don't like the new handwriting style they're teaching. It's not how we learned. Read less

It is a small school running from PK- Grade 12 with a solid Christian base. The teacher turnover rate in the school is very low. Due to the space limit, there is only one class in each grade. Some of the grades has big class size(normally they have an aide for a bigger class). They have very good
