Good Shepherd School

They have the most uncaring administration team. I have observed how they play favorites and are unwilling to help students.

Hebron is an okay school. I do have safety concerns. I think that children should have a special number to be identified by.

I can’t say enough great things about Day School! Our kids started in pre-K and have loved every minute of being here. The school community as a whole is such a welcomed difference than just being a last name on a roster sheet. These teachers take the time to get to know every student and provide them amazing educational experiences. I love that I can have them at school and know they are safe and having fun. If you are looking for a school that is truly dedicated to making your child’s educational journey the best it can be, this is it! With the level of educational excellence these kids are receiving, we can’t wait to see what they will become!

They have their google reviews turned off for a reason. There are a lot of parents that regret sending their child here. A lot of students are mistreated, emotionally & verbally abused. I hate that I put my kid here for 5 years. It’s no different than a public school. They only slap a cross and Jesus’ name on everything they do which makes it even worse.

We had a good grade school experience at EDS, but it only lasts until 4th grade and then the 5 th graders are moved into the middle school. At that point, the middle school experience was truly awful. They don't tell the parents going from 4th grade to 5th grade, but they skip a grade level in their teaching and start teaching the 5th graders at a 6th grade level. They don't offer an accelerated program that covers the building blocks needed for learning at a faster speed. Instead, they SKIP material and the parents are left scrambling trying to understand why their child is no longer doing well in school and comes home stressed out and upset. BEWARE...THERE IS NO EDUCATIONAL METHOD IN THE UNITED STATES THAT ADVOCATES THIS STYLE OF TEACHING. They have a Social Emotional Learning program, but the educators create most of the distress that occurs in the school. Many of the parents hire tutors or tutor their children themselves in order to bridge the knowledge gaps that the school creates. This is in addition to the high tuition that the parents pay. Many of the educators have their children enrolled in the school, but they end up tutoring each other's children in order to bridge these gaps. There is a high turnover of teachers, so each year someone new is reinventing the class again. They use no text books. There is very little source material to study from that the teachers use. Your kids will need to take notes like they are in high school/college and rely on this to study from. This includes math, science, social studies and other classes. Each teacher has to invent their program, but there is such a high turnover of teachers that the program is not good. There does not appear to be a cohesive, well developed curriculum except for K-4th grade. I have never seen so many parents needing to have conferences with the teachers and leadership at a school due to problems with the curriculum. The leadership of the school remains steadfastly set in their ways and refuse to acknowledge there is a problem with the curriculum. Instead, families are told that their children are not a fit for the school. The number of parents pulling their kids out of middle school and the high school program is stunning and unusually high for a school like this. We had to pull our children out of the school to get a better math and science experience. After doing that, we discovered that our child was doing more reading and writing than at EDS. This school is not worth the tuition.
