Cedar Rapids Virtual Academy Elementary

Urmom is is is your mom :D

This school is like the cup in Matthew 23:25 that has been washed on the outside but is completely rotten on the inside. I would say a lot more, but the Yelp review for this school explains it pretty well, so I will try to give a brief summary. The administration is incompetent and deceptive, the curricula are obsolete, and the students are rude and cliquey and just as duplicitous as the administrators. Grade inflation is rampant, and students regularly receive high marks for mediocre work - I once saw a classmate who submitted an essay about Margaret Thatcher inventing abortion in the early 1900s later go on to graduate with the highest honors despite openly cheating on final exams. Continuing on that thread, the school has a major cheating problem that the administration refuses to acknowledge despite being warned about it multiple times. To their credit, the teachers are very competent and work as well as they can with the fundamentalist gay-bashing young-earth creationist curricula they are forced to use. Reading between the lines, it’s clear that many of them have been compelled to dumb down their classes to accommodate the lazier students that the administration favors. Do not be fooled by buzzwords like 'Christlike character' and 'academic excellence' - if you pay attention for long, you will start to see through this school very quickly. I would strongly recommend online Christian schools like Scholé Academy or HSLDA for a better educational experience.

We absolutely love LaSalle Catholic Schools! The administration, teachers and staff are amazing! So glad we made the switch to this wonderful school!

Trinity has been a blessing to my family. The curriculum prepares students for high school. There are numerous activities that students and parents can be involved in. The teachers are compassionate and truly set up each student for success. The administration is supportive. The early childhood is high quality, offering licensed teachers in each classroom. I would suggest everyone check it out!
