Christ Lutheran School

At first I thought this would be a great school for my son. I have been a witness to bullying in jr high, my son repeatedly has been targeted and the administration do not seem to care. I do not recommend this school.

My previous review should have shown a 5 star rating. I recommend this school to all parents who want a quality education for their child.

I can't say enough GREAT things about this school. I pulled my son from a Catholic school mid-year because I could tell it wasn't a good "fit". The teachers at CLS are WONDERFUL and my son learned things in 5 months that amazed me. The faculty & families are all very warm & welcoming. We plan on staying here until it's time for high school. Thanks CLS!!!

We are catholic and left our catholic school to attend Christ LUtheran as we were tired of the large class sizes but wanted the christian family atmosphere with a great education...and we GOT IT! the teachers are awesome, the pastors are in tune with the children and are an active part of their lives and the education is superb. Everyone cares at CLS and we are part of a family. WE ARE HAPPY and do not regret the change whatsoever!

I LOVE many things about CLS, the family support, the Christian values and the class sizes. I think "Chapel" could be a little less intense in both time and content for the younger students (K-2). I don't believe the message would be lost by keeping it short and sweet, if they tune-out do to their inherent attention span being 10-15 minutes; you've lost the teaching moment after that time frame anyway and possibly turned off the learner by keeping them any longer.

Having transferred from an excelling school is the SUSD, we were concerned that the academic expectations at CLS would not match Hopi. Nothing could be further from the truth. The teachers push the students to excel in a loving and nuturing way. Gradelink (an online grade program) is updated daily so you always know how your student is performing academically. The class sizes are small, the environment inclusive for both students and parents and the communication from the school outstanding. The before and after school program offers an affordable option to parents, the sports program is great and music and art fills the halls.

Honestly, all i can say is the experience we had at this school, was extremely unfortunate. I would never recommend this school to any christian family, or any family for that matter.

I have three kids that have attended christ lutheran for the last year. We have found the education and the enviroment to be exactly what we were looking for. The class room sizes are kept to a size that gives the teachers ability to teach each child. The staff honestly cares for the kids and there futures. We were also relieved that are kids made the transition so smoothly and the school truley embraced our family. Its great to know your kids are happy and receiving a great education. I would recommend this school to anyone who wants there kids to feel part of a community where smart is cool!

As a past graduate of Christ Lutheran School, I can say without a doubt, that my experience at CLS has been the best experience of my life. I attended from 6th throgugh 8th. The curriculum was strong in ever aspect, homework was very proportioned. Most importantly, I became the person that I want to be. I was nurtured as a person, and the teachers each have an intimate connection with you. Never, in my time at CLS did I ever feel that a teacher did not care. Teachers are experts at their subjects, and you could not find better teachers anywhere. My faith was nurtured and strengthened, and if you are not religious, religion is not pushed upon you. If you have any doubts about sending your child(ren) to CLS, do not worry, by sending them to CLS, you are giving them the best possible tools of becoming a good person.

I, as an 8th student, say that this school is not great because there is way to much homework and horrible teachers who don't even know how to teach. But they do provide a Christian education, yet i would not recommend this school.
