As a student at Poughkeepsie High School, I was mistreated, discriminated against, and ignored. The staff choose who they want to support, give privileges, and turn their backs when we ask for help. If you don't speak English well, they discriminate against you, even though you're American. They tre

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageAs a parent, I honestly couldn’t be happier with our experience at Faith Christian Academy. From the very beginning, we felt welcomed and known. The teachers truly care — not just about grades, but about who our child is becoming.The small class sizes make such a difference. My child gets individual attention, feels comfortable asking questions, and is genuinely excited to go to school. I also appreciate how the school pours into character, faith, and leadership, not just academics.It really feels like a family here. We are grateful every day to be part of a school that partners with us and helps our child grow both academically and spiritually.Parent Review3mo ago
