Monroe High School

Dedicated teachers and beautiful newer building in a convenient location

Great teachers and principal. The building is clean and well cared for. Children seem to understand building rules and expectations. Parents are engaged as volunteers throughout the school day. Office staff is friendly and helpful. Teachers respond quickly to student needs. Class sizes are large. Curriculum is mostly new. The halls are cheerful and display student work.

We were extremely dissatisfied with our experience at this school and communications with both the school administrator as well as the PK teacher. Our THREE year old experienced an extremely stress inducing and strict environment at this school. The administrator instead of communicating that this school may not be a good fit for my child went on a campaign to place the blame on my THREE year old saying we need occupational therapy, speech therapy, special Ed and even going so far as recommending we hire a teacher to help their teacher in the classroom. We spent a lot of money on specialists only to find out our child is 100% normal and was subjected to a strict and stressful environment where she was being singled out and made to feel like she did not belong. We met other parents whose children were subjected to the same treatment. I recommend looking elsewhere if your child loves being active and group activities as the classroom is very regimented and children are discouraged from sharing works. I was fooled by the waitlist to thinking this was a good school but it is far from that.

The school observes too many non-standard holidays which doesn't match with working schedule of parents.

Our family is new to Cornerstone Academy this year and I'm so glad we found it! Our oldest daughter is in Pre-K and has learned more in the last 5 months than we could have ever expected. The classical Christian curriculum is fantastic and we can't say enough about the teachers and staff. Parents are kept in the loop in every aspect which is greatly appreciated. Each Sunday we receive a newsletter from the school keeping us up to date on what is happening and our daughter's teacher emails us weekly with the week's lesson plan. We are excited to enroll our middle child in Preschool next year as well! If you are looking for a school that greatly values your child's education as well as their growth in the Christian faith I highly suggest you check out Cornerstone Academy!
