Barry Community John School

Just as it was in 2015, people can still just walk into the building and several parents have to fight kids. The kids fight a lot.

I love this school. MY DAUGHTER ATTENDS THE GERMANTOWN SITE, at 5 years old she is reading, writing, siting scriptures, we are amazed. Love the staff, I just want parents to participate more to give children the opportunity to go on more trips and activities. Its affordable so without parents assisting, its easy to miss opportunities. They could incorporate rrcess, but we go to extra curriculum activities so it doeant affect my daughter as much. We won a CSF and turned it down, so that she can stay here. Great job!

Excellent teachers and a strong principle who cares about children and families. This school is awesome!

This school is great, my son has been here since kindergarten and he's now in 8th. I love the teachers and the prinicipal. It's so family oriented.

Philadelphia Christian Academy (Larchwood Division) is not all it's cracked up to be! My son started in nursery and he is now in 1st grade, we had an excellent start. The nursery and kindergarten teachers(a mother-daughter team) were excellent. It went downhill quickly from there, his kindergarten year was terrible the teacher insulted the children and was a bit rough (witnessed an incident myself). Still decided to give it another try in 1st grade, started okay but now I'm desperate to take him out. They are more interested in the amount of work the children are given rather than how much of the work they understand. The principal is very sweet but she is old and so are her methods. It may sound rude but she needs to retire, it is too much for her to handle!! A lot of good teachers left and my nearly half of my son's class left the school after kindergarten.

This pre-school mainly goes by the day care's name which is Christian Light Edu. Ctr. (CLEC). My child started there at two and is currently 4 years old and beginning to read. She gets Math and English H.W. Mon-Fri and the school is high on discipline but they don't necessarily handle problematic situations the way they should in fear of losing students. Other people whose children attended the school were well above grade level when they went to charter and public schools. Tuition is super cheap but the facilities are old and decrepit (you get what u pay 4).
