Their current elementary guidance counselor has been trapping the cats in his neighborhood and disposing of them. He also has cameras all over his back yard pointing at his neighbors' houses, neighbors who have children. The school doesn't care that he has questionable behaviour. I will not be sendi
Posted by a community member on 8/8/2025As the parent of an elementary student who academically and emotionally excels at EPA, I feel obligated to negate the whiners on this site. I can’t compare East Point Academy to surrounding Lexington County schools, but—regarding teachers, staff, and parents—it sure as heck beats the York County pub
Posted by a parent on 6/2/2025I was a teacher at this school for one year. I was shocked at the lack of support for behavior management. The school, which is charter, accepted all students who are not successful in the public school. Obviously, many of the students have underlying issues which translate to horrible behavior and
Posted by a teacher on 6/13/2024Would not go back. Only reason we attended was for early second language training, but it was at a cost of poor English and Math training, a terrible lack of oversight and serious discipline issues with staff and administration...including nurses.
Posted by a parent on 8/12/2020Supportive staff, caring students, rigorous academics. Great school.

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI attended here from Grade 2 to 7. This is not a school, it's a Republican Boot Camp. They don't care about teaching kids, they care about making voters for the Republican Party. The education I was given here was lackluster at best, filled with disinformation and Right-Wing propaganda. The teachers are not concerned with actually teaching your children, but indoctrinating them into a political party. Bullying was rampant; the faculty explicitly favors kids from families that donate to the church which runs the school.DO NOT make the same mistake my mother did and assume a Private School automatically means a better education. This place is for rich Republicans and nobody else; and they will make your child's life miserable if you aren't.Other Review10mo ago - Riverbank Elementary

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe have really loved our experience at our children’s school. The teachers are so caring and supportive, and they always do a great job communicating with us and sharing helpful ideas to support our children at home. We’ve especially been thankful for programs like the dual language immersion program and have loved seeing our child grow and gain confidence through it.Parent Review1mo ago - Grace Christian School
