Hosp Elementary School

As a parent volunteer at the school, I've had a front-row seat to the administration's glaring lack of leadership and presence. It's disheartening to see how their absence affects the day-to-day operations and morale of both staff and students. Despite the dedication of volunteers like myself, the vacuum of effective leadership remains palpable, leaving the school adrift in a sea of missed opportunities and unaddressed issues.

Dedicated Teachers: The teachers are passionate about their work. Their dedication shines through in their interactions with students. However, there’s a fine line between enthusiasm and constantly wanting something new. I encourage the school to strike a balance by focusing on essential needs while avoiding unnecessary requests.Extracurricular Activities: While this variety is commendable, it’s essential to ensure that students have enough time for core academics. Perhaps a streamlined approach to extracurriculars could alleviate the feeling of always wanting more.Inclusive Environment: They celebrates diversity. Students from various backgrounds come together, learn from each other, and build lasting friendships. Communication: While the school communicates well with parents through newsletters and emails, I believe there’s room for improvement. Maybe a quarterly phone call would be great. Facilities and Maintenance: The school building and grounds are well-maintained, but some areas need attention especially the playground. The playground equipment could use refurbishment, the tarp has holes, and an additional shade area during hot weather would benefit students during recess.

Both my kids attend PC and they love it. The teachers communicate with me to let me know of the great things my kids are doing. If there are any issues, the counselors always call and let me know what's going on.

Both of my sons attended LCA for multiple years and graduated. It was a great experience and my sons were well prepared for college. I found the staff to be very loving and caring. My son's had many truly excellent teachers. As a former educator myself, this was very important to me. A few were not excellent, yet the school listened to parents and those teachers either found other assignments or were not invited back. The school is to be commended for this. The social support system my sons had was amazing. Godly coaches and faculty poured into them. One of my son's utilized the learning center for hyper focused ADHD. It was well run and the staff taught him how to manage himself over time. They were very caring and really made a difference in his life. By college he really didn't even need extra time on tests due to the strategies he learned from the learning center. A small private school is not equipped to handle severe disabilities, yet they do a great job on what they advertise being able to cover. I believe any private Christian school will always not live up to some peoples expectations simply because no place is perfect. Why do we expect humans to be perfect? We can never measure up. Most of the families that attend want excellent academics, sports, extra curricular, and students growing to become who God made them to be. There are always a few who are at a private school for the wrong reasons. I again say though these are outliers at LCA. Will students make mistakes along the way? Absolutely! Will teachers/staff make some mistakes? You can count on it. With that said, we found LCA to be a very loving place for our kids to "grow up and learn." Was it perfect? Of course not...but honestly I felt like it was worth every single penny. It was a sacrifice that I'm glad we made. I highly recommend LCA to anyone considering a Faith based private school with excellent academics. It was an excellent environment for my sons and our family.
