Valley Stream Christian Academy

Overall this school has been a wonderful experience for my son.

I would rate my experience as a 3.

I have been going to this school for a long time and learned a lot in the beginning but the school has on a downward spiral when they started hiring teachers with no experience, no license, and that do not know how to teach children. Most of the children in 6-12 grade are failing, behind in work, or both and the staff put it all on us, students. They are having us do online work called Ignitia. They threw us into this online mess little to no guidance. On top of that, all the teachers did in our online classes in the first half of the year is sit and make sure we were not on banned websites but when you go to the Ignitia you can CLEARLY SEE that it was meant as a tool for the teachers not to be the teacher. The homework is reasonable and the character building exercises are not that bad but it does NOT leadership skills and does NOT deal well with bullying. I have been getting bullied at this school since 5th grade and whenever I tolled a teacher or the principal I was pushed to the side like nothing ever happened until recently but it took them 5 years for them to recognize the there was an actual problem. .Overall I would give this school a 2 out of 5 because even though it is not the worst school I would never recommend this school to anyone until it changes.

Our son graduated from Valley Stream Christian Academy. We are SO grateful for the Christian education that our son received. He has made lifelong friends and still has a relationship with some of the staff members. We couldn't be happier with our experience at the school. It really is a school of academic excellence and spiritual passion.

As a parent that works in the NYC schools I have to say that I am very pleased. The staff is very professional, they are very involved with the students one to one and even though my son may have had some issues they were able to address the matter in the most professional and christian way. In overall I highly recommend this school with the highest grade. These teachers and staff care and pray deligently for our children greatly and who does not want that in this fallen world. Be blessed.....
