Two of my four granddaughters attend Southwest Christian School. I pray that when they reach school age, my other two granddaughters will also attend there. At Southwest Christian School I have seen nothing short of excellence; excellence in my granddaughters academic levels and excellence in teaching
... Read more these children a true love for God. Students who graduate from SWC should be ready for college, achievers in today's fast paced world, and ready to lead others to Christ. The school teaches the children the importance of family. They do this by involving extended family (aunt, uncles, and grandparents), as well as parents, to most school activities. One example is that grandparents and parents are allowed to eat lunch with the children. Another example is that extended family is invited to their chapel. Every year Southwest Christian has a Grandparent's Day presentation. I believe this instills in them a spirit of giving of themselves. I feel confident that when I am very old I will not be forgotten by my grandchildren largely because of things that they have been taught at Southwest Christian School. Love of country is strongly emphasized at this school. Children from Southwest Christian should grow up to be informed and active voters. This is a must for our nations survival. It is a school of marked excellence. Read less

My daughter attended SCS for 13 years from kindergarten through twelfth grade. It was the best investment we could've made. The environment is nurturing and loving. SCS truly is Christ-centered and keep the focus on Christ in all areas from academics even to sports. My daughter graduated with 24

I want to start off this review by stating I wish we could offer ratings on different aspects of the school. The ratings would be: Safe Atmosphere 4-5 stars(This aspect is almost worth the cost per year vs Public schools) Curriculum 2-3 stars (not challenging in any sense of the word)VERY WEAK
... Read more NOT a COLLEGE PREP Lives up to Christian aspects as marketed 3-4 stars(Some Teachers respond quickly while other simply ignore your requests) Standards of student acceptance(based application criteria) 1-2 stars on most points Holding all students to same rules 1-2 stars (Students that have been there since the beginning of school career are coddled or behavior is ignored in spite of the pain it causes others) Overall rating for value vs cost 3 Mainly because of atmosphere. My child loved attending SCS, but was not challenged and occasionally made fun of for making 100's all of the time. The result? My child decided to dumb down to fit in socially. Read less

Both my children attended SCS for eight years. My spouse taught there as well. I can truly say that we were very excited to be a part of the SCS family early on, but people and students that SCS has allowed to come into the school have gradually pulled the reputation of the school to it's lowest.
... Read more I would NEVER recommend anyone to attend SCS with an adminstration that bases their decisions on how much money a family gives. If you are looking for 'christ centered', don't let that phrase fool you. Most students are inconsiderate and are allowed way too many chances to 'get things right'. Both my kids attend public school now and have realized that SCS was not much different. In fact, my oldest was a straight A student at SCS and has struggled in math and writing in her new high school. Please look at another option. Read less

This is a great Christian school if you are accepted into the flock . . . you will most certainly gain that acceptance if you donate enough money to have your own designated parking place, etc. Sadly, our son was not what they wanted; his teacher never even met with us face-to-face to tell us this.

They told us he could no longer attend this school because he 'asks too many questions . . . and is a burden on the teachers.' Get this, we continue to recieve their requests for donations in the mail. You need to think twice before you send your child to this school. Read less

My children have been attending SCS for several years, however I have decided to send them elsewhere. SCS seems to be drastically falling away from the type of school it once was. It used to be very passionate and focused on the Christian aspect of every child, never letting anyone through the cracks.

Praise the Lord for leading us to Southwest Christian School! What a contrast to public school. We ve seen a tremendous change in our child.

It just goes to show you that the positive reinforcement she receives during the school day goes well beyond the classroom. As parents we even noticed a difference with the parent communications. Everything has a very positive message vs. the dictatorial message we received from the previous school. Teachers and staff take the time to listen and are very responsive. The school makes good applicable use of technology. We love SCS! Read less
