Very backward staff. Bathrms are a Health Hazard & No One will Take Responsibility!!!
Posted by a parent on 12/6/2022I was horribly bullied by students and teachers alike! I had made numerous bullying reports,yet nothing was done about it! I have many,many more horror stories to tell about this school including,favoritism,racism,negligence,unprofessional staff,cafeteria food with maggots and worms! And that's not
Posted by a community member on 4/28/2021Very poor. I suggest the principal retires. To many moody women on staff. Even the few men look miserable, probably because they have to work around the women in the like the principal who is very condescending and mean.
Posted by a parent on 2/13/2019I am 54 years old and have traveled around the world and I have never seen such unprofessionalism in my life.....immature, lack of empathy and disrespect in my life when it comes to a middle school.
Posted by a parent on 12/17/2018The worst one I have every encountered and I am a retired wife of a Marine and have raised four children in school systems all over the world....this school should be close because the staff is unprofessional and extremely immature.....

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI have a daughter who attended her 4th and 5th grade years and a stepdaughter who is an upcoming senior at this school. I love this school! The school is very structured and he children are well-behaved. I will not lie to you--the kids have a lot of homework and projects throughout the year, but it makes the kids more self-disciplined, responsible, and active in their learning. Both of my girls came from a regular public school and did not have a clue on how to write in cursive. Within a month, both of them were writing in cursive smoothly! The only concern I have is the bullying among students on a couple of occasions. I do believe this problem needs to be addressed with parents, students, and teachers.The teachers are well-qualified and patient with their students. I love the principal and his administration staff! If you are ready to be involved in your patient's learning, then this is the school for you! If you want a more structured and responsible child, then this is the school for you! I would highly recommend this school to anyone! GO LEMS LIONS!!!Parent Review8y ago - Byne Christian School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe have a 2nd grader and a K3 at this school, and we are beyond delighted with their education and overall experience. The teachers and staff not only focus on academic excellence but also genuinely care about each child’s personal growth. The school consistently enhances its educational and facility offerings every year, demonstrating a commitment to continuous improvement. The lower student-to-teacher ratio is a significant advantage, fostering confidence and engagement in our children. We have observed how the teachers nurture and celebrate each child’s achievements and good behaviors, involving parents in a respectful and approachable manner. It’s a great community where compassion, values, and leadership skills are integrated into every aspect of learning. Truly a great team and a great school!Parent Review2y ago - Life Christian Academy Of Palmyra
