There is something odd about this school system. Successful students are neither liked nor appreciated. Some staff members have their own children at the school, and they do not want your child to outperform theirs. They unfairly issue disciplinary penalties, particularly to successful students. Rac
Posted by a parent on 7/18/2026I’ve moved around a lot but i’m originally from California and this is by fair the worst school I ever attended. Some teachers were nice but the students will treat anyone who is slightly different than them or didn’t go to kindergarten along with zero respect. Area is horrible too

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageOur family has had a great experience at King’s Ridge Christian School with both of our children. The teachers and staff truly care about their students—not just academically, but personally and spiritually as well.We’ve seen so much growth in both of our kids during their time here, and it means a lot to know they are in an environment where they are known, supported, and encouraged each day. The Christian values that are part of everyday life at KRCS have made a lasting impact on our family, and we are thankful to be part of such a caring and connected community.Parent Review6mo ago - Covenant Christian Academy

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy son attended first grade at CCA. He had a great experience and really enjoyed the school. We did have to hire a tutor to support him in reading but they were very open to the tutor coming to the school during the day.Parent Review3y ago - Brandywine Elementary School

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy experience with Brandywine Elementary has highlighted a significant gap in staff training, particularly concerning special education and behavioral support. The approach to handling certain student situations often feels reactionary and lacks a cohesive structure. For a school in this district, the lack of experience is evident. Parents seeking a well-regulated and experienced environment for children with additional needs may find other local schools more equipped to provide a stable educational experience.Parent Review3mo ago - Hamzah Science Academy
