Jackson Elementary School

Overall, the schools are fine, but I’m surprised by how much emphasis is placed on i-Ready. It doesn’t truly measure a student’s abilities or subject knowledge. While I understand that some standardized tests, like the IAR, can serve a purpose, I’d honestly prefer to see those phased out as well.With i-Ready in particular, students spend too much time on computers and end up less engaged. I’ve seen bright students simply click through the lessons because they don’t care, while others become anxious and take it far too seriously. Instead of leaning so heavily on platforms like i-Ready, Salt Creek should focus more on directly engaging with students and giving attention where it’s most needed—especially since the student population is small. Less “homework” on i-Ready and more meaningful interaction would make a real difference.

I have really enjoyed my time at Timothy Christian. I have been given so many opportunities to grow closer to Jesus through Bible classes such as Christian Thought and Ethics. There are also so many wonderful Christian role models that have been influential for me. My teachers always stress the importance of Christ being the reason behind everything that we learn. I also have been pushed and challenged academically. There are a variety of challenging classes to take that have really prepared me well for life after Timothy. I would highly recommend Timothy Christian.

I have never been more blessed to attend Timothy in my high school years! I have grown so much in both my academics and my faith, and I hope to see where God brings me in the future! Thank you Timothy Christian Schools!
