Slavic Christian Academy

The quality of everything at this school is very poor. The administration cares not about families and will lie to protect themselves. There is a new building, but that means little when the people who are supposed to be educating the children act like they wish they would be anywhere else. There is a substantial amount of bullying, theft, and violence. All of which nothing is done about. Avoid this school at all costs.

My son has been at Image the last 3 years (K-3) and we love this school and it's staff. He was having some behavioral problems and his teachers, the school counselor, principal, and vice principal were supportive and helping us to find solutions and in the process of us getting his ADHD diagnosis. He is excelling in his school work, making friends and had adults at the school we can trust.

I have nothing but awful things to say about this school. The teacher they had for my daughters kindergarten class did not teach any of the early development criteria that would be expected of a kindergarten class. The school allowed bullying and did nothing to stop it despite all my efforts, calls to the school, the teacher, other parents, the principal or the counselor. I fought for my daughter all last year to have nothing addressed or fixed. I now have my daughter in a new school district where she has been placed in a classroom with a teacher who is knowledgeable and knows how to teach younger children. My daughter is being placed in a class to help her with her reading due to the fact that she was unable to learn in the environment she was in last year. We have had to place her in occupational therapy to help her understand and control her emotions due to the bullying that she dealt with at this school. The school did not follow protocol on many occasions. I was not informed when my daughter received a head injury at school. They never called me about the incident but I ended up taking her to the doctor and she had a small concussion. She came home in clothes that were not her own on multiple occasions with no notice to me or her father as to why she was in different clothes. She was bullied the entirety of the year from kicking, hitting, spitting, being punched, shoved into mud puddles and specifically told by other students that she could not play with them, Now in 1st grade in a new school we are starting from scratch and trying to undo all the damage that was done at this school. None of that even covered the lack of actual learning they did during the year, She is behind in reading and math and needs extra help to catch up. Emotionally she has degraded and we are working to build up her confidence and self worth that was completely destroyed.

MY SONS EXPERIENCE WITH ORCHARDS WAS GREAT! HE HAD A FEW HICUPS HERE AND THERE, JUST BEING A LITTLE BOY, BUT THE SCHOOL WAS ALWAYS UNDERSTANDING AND WORKED WITH US AND MADE SURE WE WERE HEARD. WE WILL MISS ORCHARDS A LOT. I AM SO THANKFUL MY SON WAS ABLE TO START HIS FIRST YEAR OF SCHOOL HERE AND HE WAS BLESSED WITH AMAZING TEACHERS FROM KINDERGARTEN-SECOND GRADE! EVEN THROUGH THE PANDEMIC AND REMOTE LEARNING, HIS TEACHERS WERE VERY HELPFUL AND MADE SURE US PARENTS AND THE STUDENTS WERE NOT GETTING OVERWHELMED. THE STAFF HAS ALWAYS BEEN FRIENDLY AS WELL. ORCHARDS ALL STAR'S ROCK!

8/10 good school excited about the new building
