I got expelled for no reason and they blame stuff on me when I wasn't even at the school I was sick at home
Posted by a community member on 12/9/2025I love this school! My kiddo knows that she has multiple adults at the school who are there for her if she ever needs help, or just someone to talk to. If I ever have a question, it is super easy to reach out to the teachers via email and get a fast response. Since the school is small, at

I have had students enrolled at EKA since 2007 and have been very pleased with the caring and innovative way the teachers have helped my students excel. Not only do they genuinely care, they go out of there way to help my child be the best they can be. I would highly recommend this school to anyone.
Posted by a principal on 7/8/2015Our family moved to the Vegas area a little over two years ago and I found that the schools were terrible in Nevada. Shortly after our move I started working at EKA. After attending a few of the Senior presentations I was completely sold on this school. My kids struggled at first with the process bu
Posted by a parent on 7/8/2015Those who do not like the school are generally clueless as to it's methods. Also, yes the school is in a state of flux or change, but it is to only better the curriculum. I can say this since we have been with this school since it opened over 10 years ago. My daughter went from not liking to learn

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageBy far, the worst school out there. Leadership is terrible. Staff is rude. I feel like our kid had no progress whatsoever. He never got any homework. Even the teacher in charge was aware of what a messy organization this is. Try to stay away.Parent Review3y ago - Explore Knowledge Academy

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageIt’s August 13 2025 2:30PM and as I came to pick up my kid from school and noticed they have kids outside in n the middle of the field with no hats or shade or any protection from the high heat and sun rays, it is currently 112 degrees Fahrenheit, this unacceptable, meanwhile the teachers or persons in charge have hats on while the kids are just plain exposed to the heat elements, who in their right mind would have kids out in the middle of the grass field exposed like that? Why are they allowing this to happen? Kids could dehydrate, faint, collapse in this type of heat at this time of the dayParent Review8mo ago - GV Christian School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI took my kindergartener out of this school after realizing she was expected to do homework every night and it took a minimum of an hour sitting with her and teaching her to complete it. One day she was home sick and when she returned to school the following day was given a packet of homework of all the work from the day she missed and expected to return it to school after one evening or would face grade deductions. KINDERGARTEN. When I wrote a letter to the teacher explaining that this was not in the best interest of my child’s mental health and we would be completing the work in increments of time to allow for time with family and to not stress my child out so much she shuts down I was basically told “well that’s our policy so she’ll be docked points for each day it’s not returned.” The insane pressure and damage to a 5 year olds self esteem because all they care about is their academic scores was beyond inappropriate and unhealthy. I refused to keep my child in a school that had displayed zero care for her social/mental well being. Save your children from this environment. We need healthy families who spend time together and children who have well rounded life experiences. No kindergarten should be crying at the dinner table over homework. KINDERGARTEN.Parent Review1y ago - Oasis Baptist Church
