Community Reviews
Amazing teachers, AMAZING principal. Great feeling of community and welcoming. Both of my children (2nd and 4th) have had nothing but wonderful experiences so far.
Posted by a parent on 11/3/2021I would rate it as about a 3-star school. There was slight (I stress SLIGHT) sexism and favoritism in certain classes. For example, most of the teachers are female, and they side with the female children and call out things that the male students did, and do not punish the female students. There wer
Posted by a student on 6/22/2018My children have had positive experiences overall at this school. There are many excellent, caring teachers.

Posted by a parent on 2/17/2016My daughter just had a wonderful year. Mrs Otis is a gem of a teacher.

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageDo not put your kids in this school. As other reviews note, this school has a massive bullying problem. The school does nothing to address it. Emotional and physical abuse is apparently tolerated. The school also plays favorites with parents, at the expense of innocent children whose parents may not be wealthy. It is sad and surprising a church would tolerate this. The academics have also persistently deteriorated over the years. I could agree with some of the earlier reviews here from before 2020--there were strong teachers that actually cared. Now the academics are horrendous. Teachers are constantly absent, necessitating substitute teachers that basically are just babysitters. Kids approaching middle school age are still practicing their coloring! I don't know what happened to this school. I was and remain deeply disappointed.Parent Review8mo ago - Darcey School
