Evangel Christian Academy

My husband and I both attended this school in the early 2000s. We are now in our late 30s and looking back we can see how it impacted our lives in a big way. Evangel equipped us to succeed. We recently just enrolled both of our children and it has been one of the best decisions we have ever made. They have the education, sports, and all the rest, but if you want to teach your kid how to be a leader, love people and be loved, and follow the Holy Spirit too this is the right school for you. The teachers and staff genuinely care about your kids and several have been invested in this school since I attended. It is also innovative and strives to excel and not set in old ways and open to new ideas. Don’t read these reviews go and experience this school for yourself. You will be glad you did!

If you are tied to the church in a big way, have some way to donate money or services, or your kid is a football player who has potential you will LOVE it here. If you're vaguely a part of the church, care about "Christ in school" and are impressed with fluff certifications that mean nothing and titles and your kid has potential that a select few teachers or they themselves are going to utilize you will REALLY LIKE it here....If you want a place that sounds like a great school to send your kid because you don't want to feel bad about not pushing them or doing actual research about schools, you'll ENJOY it here.If you're a sane human who is actually looking for a good school to send your kid, AVOID this place like a plague. Kids who do not fit the mold or are in certain social circles have a very, very rough time at this school but will be too afraid to show/discuss it, and that's coming from someone who did pretty okay socially. They WILL NOT push your child, they only MAY allow them to grow and learn to their potential, but there is NOTHING EXTRA here. Just a little more room to grow than they have at a bad public school. I came to this school from a public school on a scholarship because of my test scores and backslid here, biggest mistake of my life. I have found success after, but I owe it in NO PART to this school, and the thought of sending my child here will NEVER CROSS MY MIND. Even on the topic of it being a Christian school, it is a very select brand claiming to be "non-denominational".The entire "special needs" or anything touted as that program is just so football players can accomplish their work and have practice. It's a way to pass the players answers on tests and have them sit there for designated time to do their homework, which many still don't do. It's a pathetic attempt to lure people who see this type of program as a positive or need it, and a way to help football players who aren't interested in education pass. (It's not EVERY player that this is true for, and I'm not trying to generalize but it's definitely many of the "stars", and it's a well-known fact by students.) It's also very hit-or-miss on the effectivity of teachers and how much they care, and the ones that do don't have the tools they need to do more.Also, we still have "T-buildings" and no real campus, follow the money and use your own personal deductive reasoning. It's been like that for almost 2 decades, but we've re-modernized sports facilities how many times?

Overall it is unfortunate that the lack of leadership at this school impacts student's futures. I am not impressed and am actively looking for another place to put my child. The only thing going for them is that they allow prayer in school and have chapel services. They could do so much better its a real shame.

Life changing in every aspect. Our kids love it. Their academics, sports and spiritual aspects are all incredible.

I would rate this school as 1000000 it has helped my kid through a lot. It has gotten him through depression. There’s no other school like this one. This school really has the Holy Spirit in them. Go to a chapel service and you will be immediately overwhelmed by the Holy Spirit
