I attended Faith Prep anticipating a nurturing educational environment. However, my experience here has been deeply disappointing, to say the least. Rather than fostering growth and academic excellence, the school has left a negative impact on my life. First and foremost, the quality of instruction provided by some of the teaching staff has been subpar. A few instructors appeared underqualified for their roles, lacking the necessary expertise to effectively educate their students. This deficiency in qualifications was exacerbated by instances of blatant favoritism displayed by some teachers, creating an unfair and demoralizing learning environment. While a few exceptions existed, notably the science, history, and economics instructors who demonstrated both competence and dedication to their craft, the majority fell short of meeting the standards expected of educators in such a setting. Of particular concern was the English teacher, whose conduct towards students was unprofessional and deeply troubling. Not only did she exhibit favoritism, but she also resorted to humiliating and insulting behavior, fostering a toxic atmosphere within the classroom. Furthermore, her lack of proficiency in the subject matter was glaring, as evidenced by her inability to adequately address students' questions and assign appropriate coursework. The administration, led by the principal, failed to uphold the school's purported values of empathy and fairness. Instead, there were instances of condescension towards certain students. Particularly concerning was the principal's response to a student struggling with self-harm, showing a shocking lack of empathy and resorting to disciplinary measures rather than providing support and understanding. Overall, while Faith Prep may serve as a suitable learning environment for elementary students, it falls short of meeting the needs of high school students seeking a challenging and nurturing educational experience. My time here has left me feeling profoundly underprepared for the rigors of college, both academically and emotionally.

Ooo where do I begin. I went here for all my 4 years of high school. The only teachers that were actually qualified was the science teacher, who to my knowledge has left, and the history teacher. The English teacher was one of the most unqualified teachers I've ever seen. She was extremely petty, assigned college level work and would bully and insult students when they didn't understand the work. She spent more time on her phone then she did teaching the students. The principal was extremely unpleasant, she would encourage students to snich on eachother if they broke a rule. If you did snich you would get rewarded. there was even a saying "snitches get skittles" . This school oversteps their boundaries and loves to invade your personal life. The principal loves giving empty threats and she overreact on everything. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE unless you hate yourself. I apologize if the punctuation and grammar is bad the English teacher didn't teach me how to write properly.

My daughter is on her 2nd year attending Faith Preparatory School and she has never been healthier; mentally and spiritually. The school curriculum continues to prepare her for collage level material and expectations. The teachers are creative and are allowed to teach in creative ways that aim to help the students understand the actual content and concepts of lessons versus being forced to teach towards a test. I feel like her confidence as a student has grown tremendously and her relationship with her Higher Power, who we call Jesus, has blossomed and has changed the trajectory of her career path forever. This school has a wonderful family vibe and the teachers, principal and staff all lead with passionate, knowledge and love.

Faith Preparatory School is the best school with the highest quality of education with very very very cheap tuition for the quality of education students receive. The school has an excellent principal who also teaches high school mathematics and is very knowledgeable in her field. Mrs. Dumas, the principal, is always available to talk to her students about any subject. Mr. Winsley, the middle school history teacher, is a very wise and insightful teacher who acts as a mentor and role model to the middle school students. Dr. Camacho, the high school science teacher, is a brilliant teacher who always supports her students in all of their endeavors. Mrs. Tejada, the high school English teacher, is a resourceful teacher who is always willing to give her students guidance on any topic including assignments and personal issues. Mr. D, the high school history teacher, is an intelligent and well-rounded teacher whose lectures are clear, concise, and entertaining. The students also have the privilege of learning about the Bible and Christian morals in chapel and in their Bible classes. As a result of the school's excellent education, my two sons both have great performance in school, and both have great SAT scores. I believe they would both get even better scores, but their current scores are more than enough for the university they hope to attend. I'm very grateful for the amazing Christian education this school provides. This school definitely deserves more recognition for its very cheap tuition and excellent education. I will thank God until my death that my kids ended up in this school. I also thank Josephine DuBois, the first principal of the school, and her family, Pastor Frank Santora and Pastor Al Coehlo as well as John Hodge of the Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation. These people helped my family in our time of need and we in turn want to thank them for the amazing experience we've had in this school.

Very clique-ish and judgemental. Even though students pay tuition, the school is not funded well. There are little to no field trips (maybe one every year) and the heat/AC barely turn on. Uniforms are incredibly expensive. Teachers are paid little, which results in them acting out and not taking their job seriously. Not worth the money at all. Public school has more opportunities and resources for free.
