Bert Lyn and Cassmir are better. I would not recommend but it’s okay.
Posted by a student on 5/4/2024This school places a lot of emphasis on whole child development. It is academically challenging but also places great importance on extra curricular activities. My three boys have all thrived there and tell me that they feel supported by their teachers. I saw one post saying there are no sports team
Posted by a parent on 7/1/2022Wonderful participation from parents and tucked away location
Posted by a community member on 12/26/2019Pretty good over all but I have had a few bad teachers the past three years here but it is more likely than not that they didn´t understand how to teach more than one type of person. And teachers don´t notice the bullying here it isn´t terrible but it should be handled better.
Posted by a student on 6/7/2017This is school is not a good school and average at best. There's no sports teams except for track. The school does a okay job teaching students. The staff and teachers are great though.

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe core values of this school are a gift to our family. I have four children here and we’ve experienced every grade level and every teacher, and throughout it all the school has felt like a big, supportive family. I’ve always felt that my kids are genuinely known, cared for, and looked after with compassion and intention. That sense of partnership means everything to a parent and to the kids. We’ve felt welcomed from day one and we’re grateful to be part of the Saint James family.Parent Review2mo ago - South Bay Christian School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI have been with the school for 2 years now and I feel that the school is a great fit for my 2 kids. The teachers are loving and supportive and my children are thriving. I have enjoyed meeting the parents and learning about cultures and the experiences that the children do. My children feel happy and safe at school and I know that they are growing and learning about god and Christianity. I have recommended other families to the school and I will continue to do that and support their activities.Parent Review1y ago - First Lutheran

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageIve had three children attend FLS. My first two were fine. But they fired thenprofessional seasoned principal. Then made the inexperienced first grade teacher the principal. She, the current principal and leadership lacks the experience and education to lead the school in its next chapter. This school also lacks instructor diversity. The school is led by all women that previously attended the school and now work there. Their children get a discounted tuition and preferential treatment. Each time a male teacher is hired he only last a semester because the women run them away Currently there are two male teachers. There is only one PE teacher and its female that a friend of the leadership team. Consequently they all live in a bubble and other their children get the resources to be successful. The academic curriculum is declining and outdated because the principal refuses to implement curriculum to meet the technology and AI curriculum. There is only one computer teacher and the students meet once a week. They lack an excellent foreign language, music and arts instructors. I would not recommend this school in you are looking for a quality Christian private schoolOther Review5mo ago
