Greenway Park Elementary

Crown Point Elementary school- great school. I like it. Recommend.

Our family has been part of Providence Day School for six years, and I can say without hesitation that it has been an exceptional experience for our children and for us as parents.What sets Providence Day apart is the balance it strikes between academic rigor and genuine care for the whole child. The teachers are highly skilled, deeply invested, and truly know their students as individuals. They challenge them academically while also supporting their social and emotional growth in meaningful ways.The curriculum is strong and thoughtfully designed, with opportunities for students to explore their interests in academics, the arts, athletics, and service. Communication between school and families is consistent and transparent, and the administration is approachable and responsive. You never feel like just a number here—there is a real sense of partnership between parents and the school.Equally important is the culture. Providence Day fosters kindness, integrity, and respect, while encouraging students to be confident, curious, and resilient. The community is welcoming and inclusive, and families are encouraged to be involved in ways that feel authentic and collaborative.After six years, we remain confident that we chose the right school. Providence Day has helped our children grow not only as students, but as people—and that is ultimately what matters most.

I am sorry I ever sent my children to this school. One was never involved in sports, extremely smart, and very bored with the curriculum. He received bad grades because he was wasn't challenged at school that was so heavily geared towards sports. When he learned what elective courses his cousins were taking at another Charlotte private school, he was jealous. He didn't tell me any of this until he graduated, which just hurts my heart. I wish I had known.My other child had depression and anxiety issues during and after the pandemic and while the middle school counselor was incredible, some of the teachers showed no compassion which only compounded his anxiety. Administration was not helpful and did not care. We left and went to a different school where he is much happier.I can't say I recommend this place. While we did have some truly wonderful and caring teachers, we also had others--and they were the ones that seemed to have been there for YEARS--that were unkind and unhelpful to the students who either weren't involved in athletics or had parents that were rich/famous.I wish I had sent my kids to a different school.

This school's reviews have been disabled on Google. Am unable to warn others with public review there, and on Facebook page it's apparent that rose-colored reviews are scheduled on same days, multiple at a time from family, friends of, and employees of school. Years of deleted reviews on Facebook then, all at once, 10 positive reviews on the same day, conveniently timed at the end of school year to increase enrollment for upcoming year. Why would a school that has been in operation for 50 years change their name from "Bible Baptist School" to "Matthews Christian Academy" and rebrand if they had built a strong reputation in the community? We moved here and had enrolled when we found out. A family told us their kid was held back THREE TIMES and was a normal kid. They tried to boot our kid out of first grade half-way into the year despite having good grades on record at the time because they claimed that our 6 year old could not "sit still during instruction." Use letter grades to grade first graders which is unusual for age and assign several homework assignments daily, usually 3-5 differing assignments and tests. Noticed that many classmates were older and likely had been held back. Class size much higher than anticipated, over 20 children (22-24 range) for first grade with teacher and assistant although had advertised small class sizes. Only had resources to serve 20 students in next grade up because only had one teacher for second grade, meaning not every first grader was making the cut and ours was on that list, obviously wasn't a teacher's favorite. School is not operating in best interest of prospective families as they attempt to over-enroll first graders in scheme to gain more tuition funding. Few first graders will inevitably be failed or dismissed from school with very strict, anal retentive first grade teacher. Failed ones make more money for school in long run. First few grades are 24-15 students then taper off as grades go up, class sizes get to 5-7 by high school graduation showing their low retention. High teacher turnover. Over 80% students are international probably due to local reputation. Had costly extra assistance from outside school, unfortunately teacher, director and elementary coordinator had clear agenda against working with us as parents to help our kid. Will never enroll in another Christian school as a result. Terrible for our child's confidence. We are trying to repair as we move onto future educational endeavors. Please beware.

Charlotte Prep was the very first school our family ever attended, and it set the bar incredibly high. From the start, we felt so welcomed and supported. The teachers really care about the kids, not just academically but also as people, and that made such a difference for us.Our child grew so much here, both socially and academically, thanks to the small classes and nurturing environment. We always left with peace of mind knowing our child was safe, happy, and learning. Charlotte Prep gave us the perfect start, and we’ll always be grateful for that experience.
