My youngest loves this school so much that he runs right in (no clinging - thank heavens)! His classmates are great too - no playground problems. My oldest in middle school needs a lot of help and the teachers have been very accomodating, doing all they can to make sure she succeeds. This has been our best year and I'm so glad we switched to Atonement (from large public schools), and we'll keep with this school (it's also one of the cheapest, plus they have good scholarships). The principal/pastor is a very decent and humorous guy, and his kids are in my kid's classes - he has the nicest, brightest children - his oldest helps mine with Social Studies work. They serve hot lunches that my picky eater likes, they also have band, art, library, sports, Girl/Boy Scouts, and a beautiful campus - oh, and field trips. The kindergarten teacher is especially great with kids and has a nice classroom routine. I chaperones one of the middle school field trips and was amazed at how tame the boy's conversations were. They are very sweet kids. A stressfree school - a thousand times better than the other schools we've attended. Could it be any better?

My son scored a 98% on the Iowa standard test in 3rd grade. Great place to learn and grow.

We like this school very much. The preschool is wonderful. The aftercare is great, and perfect for working parents who don't just want their children 'babysat' after school. Kindergarten is ahead of our local (excelling) school, and the children like it. They are responsive to parent questions, concerns, and personal needs.

My children went to Atonement Lutheran School, and enjoyed it. We loved the Christian education they received and the school's academic standards as well. I believe the principal and teachers really do care about the individuals who go to the school, and it certainly shows. THANKS for being a beacon of light in this world!

I have two children that have attended Atonement for the past two years. The preschool teachers, program, and overall environment is wonderful. The elementary program is nurturing as well, but also challenging and exciting for the students. My kids love being there, and I love that the staff is so visible and friendly.

My daughter attends preschool at Atonement and loves it. I like the structure, the faith development, and the Christ-centeredness of the curriculum. The principle is wonderful and the teachers are very loving and supportive. They are true Christians. The education my daughter received throughout this school year has been outstanding. I have very high reguards for Atonement and recommend this school to anyone who believes that faith and a great education are important for their child's development.

I have a granddaughter in fourth grade and a grandson in pre-school at Atonement Lutheran School, and I couldn't be happier! To see them in a loving and caring, and safe, environment. I've seen the happy faces of everyone in this school, as a volunteer there myself. I highly recommend this school to anyone who wants their child to have a top grade education!

Atonement Preschool is a good pre-school. My daughter has attended pre-school there for 2 years. She is being prepared for kindergarten and she is learing a lot about Jesus. They have a wonderful and flexible aftercare program which is very helpful to working parents. Supportive teachers!

About these ratings

The Community Rating is the school’s average rating from its community members (e.g., parents, students, and school staff). The highest possible rating is five stars; the lowest is one star.

We currently do not have any test score information for this school. Unlike public schools, private schools are not always required to report data about their schools or not required to take the same tests as public schools. Many private schools take different standardized tests; however, that information is often made available only to families of enrolled students. We strive to acquire additional private school data whenever available.
