Harry E Elden Elementary School

This school was the best school I have ever attended

I had a great time back when I went there, and I had great teachers other than my fourth grade teacher. I kind of liked it

Due to moving into different districts throughout the school years, I have had the privilege of experiencing 5 faith based schools. Word of Life is the 6th, so I have the ability to compare schools. I am so blessed to be able to say without reservation that World of Life Christian Academy is the BEST. It has the BEST educational experience for the kids, and the BEST and most loving teachers. The wholesome atmosphere at this school is beyond expectation. No child is shunned, no child is left out. The school has been so accommodating in meeting our child's special needs. And the B'ville public school district works in tandem with WOLCA in making sure our student gets help as needed. It is so amazing to see how well the two schools interface with each other. The level of learning is higher than I have ever seen. I highly recommend!

Big red flags with this school! Teachers are not trained in common classroom management techniques, curriculum, instruction, or assessment. Curriculum materials are not grade level appropriate. Students are not engaged in learning. Young children “sit a get” instead of exploratory learning. Staff take a punitive approach instead of teaching social and emotional skills and supporting young students. The principal is ineffective. Communication is poor. You are better off sending your child to public school where teachers and administrators have certification, training, and supports are in place for the whole child. If you send your child here, prepare for them to be judged harshly and without remorse. What would Jesus do, WOLCA?
