Faith Christian Academy

My son went here for one semester. It was horrible! He was bullied, and nothing was done about it. He had a lazy teacher. Also, the principal was very rude. He is now excelling in a different school district. The only person who seemed to actually care about her job was the secretary in the front office. Some people are just not fit to be teachers / principals!

The teachers are excellent and work very hard to overcome the obstacles faced by this campus. There is a lot of poverty in this area, the teachers and PTO even raised money to buy coats for many children. Despite the odds against them, they still manage to be great teachers, and all my children who attended this school continue to be in AP classes. Don't look at the grades given by outsiders, this is a great school.

My daughter has been at this school for the past 5 years. She has grown both academically and socially. The teachers really care about the kids. All of my daughter’s teachers have gone above and beyond. The ladies in the front office are welcoming and the principal really listens and cares. I definitely recommend this school!

We have two sons that have been at this school since kindergarten. Our older sons went to a different school. Overall we were pleased with both but this school has exceeded our expectations. We worried initially based on the schools previous scores but after meeting with the teachers and doing tours we were confident this was the right decision. Since then the school has continued to do better and our sons have both excelled. We always make sure to tell anyone that has questions about this school about our experience.

Excellent. We've had some other private school experience in the area, and this school has by far been the best for our children. Academically our son coming from kindergarten was at a 3rd grade math level at another private school. There is a Christian element to the school that provides the basics of Christianity but is not pushed on you as strongly as most private schools in this area.

Academics are subpar. Punishments are cruel and not disclosed to parents. Retaliation towards whistleblowers. Financials are not fully transparent. Art room floods multiple times a year and staff isn’t aware for days to get someone to dry it out. Special education is not offered. Students are not challenged or given advanced work or opportunities. Class sizes are at max capacity. Competition is discouraged. Teachers have to teach art and science as no staff for those positions. Technological opportunities for students are out dated. Library is not accessible and fully functional to students. Teachers are not given supplies and equipment to perform their jobs. Disciplinary actions are biased and focused on nepotism.

Some teachers are very good, but many are football coaches who are not good teachers at all.The textbooks claim to be from a Christian perspective, but it is really a politically conservative perspective that uses some Christian language to disguise the true agenda. Many of the textbooks are from BJU Press, which stands for Bob Jones University Press.If you're child is struggling, the response of the teachers is mixed. Wanted to come here because the public school was letting our child down. The smaller size of the school was beneficial, but not sure the education is really any better.
