I love Grace Christian School. I am a parent of a high achieving student and a proud graduate. Our school's test scores are consistently ranked in the upper nintieth percentile in the nation which is a far cry from local public schools. The school's focus is on college prep and not 'jock' prep. If you

As a parent of three graduates of GCS, I can say unequivocally that they all received an excellent overall education. My children attended from Kindergarten through 12th grade. The curriculum can be challenging at times but that is what encourages children to learn. If everything is easy or can be accomplished

My children sometimes struggled, but with the support and love of our family and teachers, they were able to do their best -which is all anyone can expect. My children had no problems with college, as a matter of fact, they were far more prepared and better equipped than many of their college friends. If you are looking for an excellent overall Christian education (academics, fine arts, sports), I highly recommend it! Read less

High school academics aren't anywhere near the level of the nearby public high school, Huntington High. The classes are easy for brighter students, and teachers have a mentality of suspecting non-conformity as the signs of a 'troublesome' child. My daughter consistently got into trouble for writing
... Read more essays that were 'too well-written to be created by a student,' even though she regularly proved that she was highly intelligent, especially in English. I personally watched her write an essay and she brought it back home with an F circled on top with the word 'plagiarism' beside it, in the teacher's handwriting. This has happened here several times, and the schools' narrow-minded methods and selective discipline, combined with the lack of extracurricular opportunities and a confined, lack-luster curriculum finally encouraged us to pull our children out. Our oldest daughter has done extremely well at Huntington High and is very happy. Grace was a great, stifling disappointment. Read less

It is a good school, but we felt like it was just getting too expensive and that they were trying to compete with the public schools in a lot of areas, and the parents were paying the cost for that.
