Grace Baptist Academy

My children went from being model students in the classroom, helping & even reminding other students of the class rules to now they complain DAILY about being bullied and are apparently disruptive and now also starting issues with other students. No it’s not okay for them to act that way but everyone has a breaking point and this is a very drastic behavior change since switching schools. Now “meetings” & “discussions “ about their behavior are happening but I’m not being included or informed about any of these discussions. I only know because I asked for a meeting & was told I have to wait till they do their meeting. Like … what?! I do NOT recommend this school. My youngest was even tackled by a student TWICE his size and sent home with bruises on his face.

Hostile, coercive, unprofessional and culturally insensitive to their students and the families that were segregated into this school with undesirable pipelines.

Highland Park is MCCSC's best kept secret. The teachers and staff are so caring and do a lot to keep families involved. They offer a ton of extracurriculars like robotics club, drama club, gardening club, and even have a nature preserve on school grounds! My kids have had a great experience and are excited to go to school.

I had my girl in this school for 3 months recently. I am glad that I took her out and would not recommend this place. Couple of things:The teacher/student ratio is variable on day-to-day basis. Some days I saw more students in a class. Also my girl would be with different teachers and friends on a regular basis. While this may seem a minor issue, I personally prefer having the same teachers and peers in her class and this is important for her to feel comfortable and learn from her peers.Many days I've noticed teachers on mobile phones during school hours. This is very annoying. As a parent, I'd want my kid to stay safe under an adult supervision and this was a big minus here. More specifically, in the classroom where my girl was, the teacher was juggling between the class and office, so there were times where these kids are unsupervised. This really freaked me out.Overall, I did not find my girl learning substantially in these 3 months while I saved few hundred bucks in tuition.
