J B Shelton Academy

This school is below average, not what I expected. Teachers are not that involved with students or parents. Car line ladies in the morning are rude and hit your car to " keep it moving" I choose to deal with the dreading car line because they have recently lost a student on the bus. Announcements of school spirit wear happens maybe 1 week before It doesn't give you time to prepare or buy your child something to wear for that day, not organized and not family friendly.

This school has completely gone down the drain. My children do not get the education they deserve due to other children not behaving and the administration refusing to handle behavioral problems. Students could hit a teacher and the administration will blame the teacher. Behavioral issues are ignored and parents are not informed when things happen.

I am shocked to see that Orourke has a low score. I went there when it opened many years ago and my son is in his last year there and has been there since 4k. The staff and teachers are incredible. They have a new principal who seems to be doing a good job so far. My son is part of the "Covid class" so I feel that the school excelled when having to deal with all of that. We are sad that this is our last year there and are grateful for all the love and support we have received from Orourke Elementary.

A wonderful family welcoming community. All my kids attend and the staff take time to know each of their children and parents.

My children have been at MCS for going on 6 years now and I could not imagine a more nurturing and caring environment that provides them with them with a great education than with this school does. The campus is beautiful and my children enjoying the interaction they get with children in the upper grades, This school is one big family!

My experience with Dr. Johnson at Cottage Hill Christian Academy has been disappointing. Since he came in, things have changed and not in a positive way. He often comes across as condescending, and quite a lot of parents feel the same way. There’s a growing sense that he’s more concerned with control than connection, and it’s made the atmosphere at the school feel tense and divided.Cottage Hill used to have such a strong, welcoming community, but that sense of trust has really faded under his leadership. Many of us truly hope to see improvement or a change in how things are handled moving forward.

This is our second year at MJA.. my two daughters were in pre k and k last year and absolutely loved it. After coming from daycare where they complained about going every day they were excited and said they have fun all day and didn't even realizing they were learning at the time they both the finished the year knowing how to read and were upset when summer started! Now we are back and they love it just the same. The teachers are amazing the classes are small and very much a family type atmosphere the classes are blended grades which is interesting and the kids seem to like.. It's seventh day Adventist and they teach the Bible just as we learn at our non denominational church. The teachers are excellent with communication to parents and support parent involvement.. the younger kids do so much outside. I love that my kids come home sweaty and dirty like the good ole days... I really can't praise them enough for all that they do and how much they love all the children and work with different learning types and any special needs and are so in tuned to what each child needs.
