HOPE Christian School: Semper

Great teachers that care about their students.

The principal is weak. She allows the students to run the school. She would rather have students fighting and being disrespectful to adults than suspend.

Amazing school, the teachers are awesome, my son loves it here. Ms Loss is very understanding and cooperative. Even during pandemic, they provided with enough materials to work from home. Reccommend it especially for younger kids. My son was in K4 and he was bullied by a boy in the class and the teache couldn't do much about it so then we complained to ms Loss and we got his class changed. After that my son absolutely loves it here.

I toured this school as a business doing work there. The students are well-behaved, and respectful. You can tell that they are treated well, and come from families that care about them. The school is clean, well maintained, and the teachers and staff are engaged and motivated.

As a current student at Atonement Lutheran School, I feel disappointed in how bullying is handled here. The way staff responds often makes it worse. Students who speak up don’t feel supported, and the same problems keep happening over and over. Some of the bullying is even ignored by teachers but they would turn their heads at bad behavior such as talking, unneat uniform, and etc. I am not saying that teachers ignore this constantly but they handle this very poorly. Gossiping about others is the main problem there and I suggest discipline is the only way to work things out, and what I mean about that is that the students should clean the desks or sweep the floors so when students get informed about this new rule, their less likely to make these kind of mistakes. I also suggest Teachers should be cautious during recess because those big groups of girls/boys doesn't seem so friendly as it may be seen. I have also seen bad behavior in classrooms and teachers just let the student off with a warning which makes that student more likely to cause a scene like throwing stuff and teasing another classmate. Atonement should be more strict about their rules, this is a Christian school, not a free roaming place where you could do whatever you want.

Although the 53206 zip code is one of the worst in the nation, Siloah stands out as a hidden gem or a beacon of light. They welcome students gladly and enjoy engaging with parents and guardians so that the students have the best experience possible and the best education journey. I easily see why parents who don't live in 53206 drive their children to this school. Siloah is a great place to be!

very disappointed with how this school has changed since the Bauers took over. My kids have been here since kindergarten, but the environment is no longer supportive. Children are treated more like robots then kids, and stuff often speak to them in harsh, punitive way. in 3rd grade, my child was told by the dean, "if you don't want to be here, find a different school". After one emotional day where she was crying, the situation escalated quickly-from being since home, to suspended, and then expelled the same day, partly due to attendance. there was no compassion or effort to work with our family. instead of helping children succeed, it feels like they push them out after receiving the student funding. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS SCHOOL.
