Cedar Park Middle School

I totally agree with everything that one parent said in their review (on 8/6/2025) about this school. Seriously, get out of there as fast as you can.

Excellent teachers, strong leadership, and a positive learning environment. We couldn’t be happier with Deer Creek.

Our experience with Summit Christian Academy was deeply disappointing and, unfortunately, harmful to our child’s well-being. We enrolled our children with the hope of providing them a strong academic foundation grounded in Christian values such as compassion, grace, and support. Sadly, those values were not reflected in the school’s actions, but specifically as it related to the current Headmaster in charge. Prior to his arrival, we did not have this same experience, but unfortunately his actions were the main reason we decided to remove our child from an environment led by this individual. Over the most recent year at the school, our child faced ongoing challenges that were met not with understanding or support, but with dismissal, targeting and, at times, a lack of empathy from staff and leadership. Rather than working with us as partners to support our child’s development, the administration often took a rigid and judgmental approach that left our child feeling isolated, unheard, and emotionally distressed. We expected a nurturing environment where Christian principles were more than just words on paper, but instead lived out through kindness, patience, and humility. Instead, we witnessed a culture where certain students were favored, and others—especially my son who struggled—was marginalized, labeled and ultimately attacked. This was not the Christ-like guidance we were promised.Our child’s confidence and mental health were negatively impacted during their time at Summit Christian Academy. We eventually made the decision to withdraw him for his own emotional and spiritual well-being. While no school is perfect, it’s crucial that institutions claiming to provide Christian education actually reflect those teachings in their daily practices and interactions.We hope this review encourages thoughtful reflection and change within the school, so that no other child has to go through a similar experience.

My daughter has thrived academically and athletically at Hill Country. The teachers are awesome and her faith has grown. We are so blessed to have found this school.
