Judson STEAM Academy

My son went here for most of k through 2nd and is a GT kid. I had to do so much to have him even screened at SH and was told that they do not really have a GT program and "it's better for kids to be in the classroom." (45 min/wk of AR is their GT program) He is in an unimpressive GT program at another school (That problem will be resolved soon). The staff returned calls about my concerns, they merely "gave me a bone do chew on". The principal clearly doesn't care about the education there and proves to be in it for her own best interest. My kids bowed their heads to say grace before eating, and a teacher told them "you do not have to do that here." When I addressed this with the principal, she told me (and I quote) "I can assure you that the teacher did not tell them that they couldn't pray." My reply "That is understood by a child to mean not to do what they were doing." She had no response. Best features of this school are security, fairly clean campus, the very few dedicated teachers that care and they are aware that they are far behind on the tech curve. They might get good ratings by state standards but their method of delivering well educated students is appalling.

We couldn't be more pleased with our experience at Christian Heritage! The classical Christian education model is truly exceptional, blending rigorous academics with a strong moral foundation rooted in biblical principles. Our children have thrived both intellectually and spiritually, thanks to the dedicated and caring faculty who genuinely invest in each student's growth. We have a graduate of CHCS as well as a younger student beginning the 5th grade.The curriculum challenges students to think critically and develop a love for learning, while also nurturing their character and faith. The sense of community here is incredible—teachers, staff, and families all work together to create a supportive and uplifting environment. We are so grateful for the positive impact this school has had on our children’s lives!

This was our third year at JMQ, and this year had a significant decline. A new principal was instated, and she was not engaged. It was rare to see her or receive any communication.My child was in 4th grade for the 2024-2025 school year, and the two primary teachers, home room and subject specific class initiated no communication regarding student status. There were no parent - teacher conferences offered this year. When visiting the school, attempting to engage the homeroom teacher for input was very poor. As compared to the previous two years to this past school year, it has been night and day different. This is not acceptable for our students.
