Our experience with this school as a whole has been very negative, my children do not want to attend school because of how they are treated while they are there. Teachers will use humiliation tactics to get students to do work they need them to finish so they can meet their own goals for the classro

Posted by a parent on 7/6/2024Taxpayers probably spend more on this school than the other elementary schools combined, but it’s still really bad with no leadership and a lot of troubled kids receiving no mental health services. The only thing that’s changed is that they now spend half the school year preparing to take state test
Posted by a parent on 5/2/2020I attended B.W. as a child, and I was thrilled to send my youngest child there. My child's kindergarten experience was very positive.

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI am the principal of C.F. Richards. I came to the school 2 years ago from a local public school I am impressed by the community of parents, students, teachers and volunteers at the school. Students receive much more individualized instruction and attention than in public school.Principal Review9y ago - Grace Christian School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageGrace Christian School loves our children. We came to GCS when my oldest began kindergarten, and she just graduated from the high school last year. (she is currently thriving at a top university) Both of my children have been giving excellent educations and made wonderful friends. No institution made up of human beings is going to be perfect this side of heaven. But the school works from a prayerful posture to correct any issues that arise. We are a covenant community where the school actively partners with the parents.Parent Review3y ago - Stuart Hall
