Open Door Christian Academy

Do not send your children here, unless you're a townie. My daughter attended this school for 4 years (k-3rd). In 2nd grade a child stood up in class a claimed he'd brought a gun to school. Rather than suspending him, they simply asked him to apologize to the whole class and he was back just a few days later. My daughter was bullied and struggled the entire time she was here, despite her being the sweetest kid. The superintendent will send you generic messages if you voice concern, but nothing will be done unless you threaten them with a lawsuit. She now goes to school over an hour away to escape the chaos and abuse, and she's thriving. Run, and move out of lisbon/lisbon falls if you value your child's emotional well-being, and education.

Our child has been attending since K and is now entering 8th grade. All of his teachers have been great in communicating about him and have always appreciated their open door policy. We have been pleased with his progress academically, socially and spiritually and commend the relationships that the teachers develop with all the students. Sports have really grown in that there is soccer, basketball, cross country, and girls' softball, developmental baseball & soccer for the little ones. The graduates have gone off to varied universities from USM, UME, UNE, Gordon College, Oral Roberts Univ, Thomas College, Waynesburg Univ-PA., Castleton Colleg-VT, Cedarville Univ (Pharmacy Program), St. Joseph's, etc which shows me the graduates can compete and enter a varied scope of universities. As noted in a prior rating not all the teachers have degrees but the ones that don't each have over 17 years of teaching in the primary grades so I know their experience far outreaches a degree and are excellent teachers that are continually learning how to reach each child.,,,as are all the staff.
