St Christopher Academy

My daughter is in Kindergarten here. Her teacher speaks to all of the parents every morning and has great communication with the families. I always know how my daughter is doing and how her day went. She loves classes like garden science and is learning her numbers and letters quickly. There is no shortage of parent volunteers for this class. We feel really fortunate to be in this school district and in Mrs. Smith’s Kindergarten class at Lafayette.

I do not recommend this school at all. The teachers are always right and the students' opinion is never valid. Even if you voice your opinion, the school will not allow you to continue there. The teachers and principle continue to make favourites, they allow them to call down to the office any time that they like, pull them out of class for no real reason, and let them do things with younger grades. If you are a child of colour then you are automatically considered a problem child. This school is focused on faith(Which is not a bad thing), but they do not consider that not everything has to revolve around it and don't consider that the lives of the children matter more. The teachers don't own up to their own actions, they say the opposite thing that they originally said before, then making it the child's fault. The school wastes money, they have so many fundraisers but spends it on painting a lion in the gym. The teachers are forced to work really late; they stay way after hours to finish their lesson plans.

I think people frequently over exaggerate how bad this school is. i mean, of couse they do. people rarelt like their own schools, because people rarely like learning. ive been at this chool 9/10 of the years its been in operation. ive never been to another school, so im not sure houw accurate this will be. i dont think this school is great but i would not say this school is horrible. some of the eachers are less than ideal, but still do a pretty good job of teaching. the principal and vice principal is where a significant problem arises. they do not know how to deal with conflict, or how to treat all studens equally. the students are mostly fine. i cant give a review on them because your treatment by students really varries on who you are, what grade youre in, and what year youre going to this school.
