South Aiken Baptist Christian School

Great School. The environment and staff are awesome.

Previously left a bad review due to administration. We loved the teachers at this school. Pervious administration seemed to have ego issues and would return bullies to class before the injured students were capable to return. We witnessed this on multiple occasions. They would even try to act authoritative to parents in a town where nearby industries are supporting of our nation. I point this out not to complain but to inform other parents that this is no longer the case!New administration has really revived this school. They connect with teachers and students. The bullying issue has seemed go disappear at least from our perspective.We have attended multiple charter schools throughout this period. Chukker creek is one of the best schools in the area again in multiple opinion.

It certainly easy to criticize a school and it staff, as I’m one of the first ones to do it. They had a lot of change in the staff, including principal and assistant principal. Last year I wasn’t too happy about that. However, on defense of the new principal, Miss Brooks, she truly is very engaged in the students, well-being and education.. if I’m not mistaken, she came from a high school assistant principal. She is very engaged with the children and their entire families and bringing people together, which is awesome . When we first moved here a year and a half ago we put her on the list to go to a charter school and just recently received a call to get her into horse Creek Academy. I was truly excited when we got the call, but believe when you have children who have friends at a school that it’s detrimental to relocating them to another school. So she will remain at Aiken Elementary .. where I feel like she is flourishing because the principal make sure she gets what she needs in her education and emotional support. Those things are truly detrimental to a child growing up..

My son attended 3K and we had no issues with that teacher. The next year was the complete opposite. My son came home the very first day very upset and explained to us how the teacher was rude to him. He said he was pushed by the teacher and she raised her voice to scold him. After that day we had to walk him in otherwise he would not go. After two days of that the teacher became irritated and shut the door in my face and other staff members were rude as well. What was I to do if your son would not want to go in the morning? Needless to say we had to find another school and he is completely fine there. I would not recommend this school to anyone I know.
