I went to Ascension for middle school, but only lasted 2 years. I was SEVERELY bullied there and the staff did nothing about it. I would NOT recommend that you send your children there. The classes are way too small and there is a lot of bulling that goes on. Take it from someone who went there, this is not a place you want to go. I regret going there more than anything, they make the school seem so amazing, but really its the worst decision I have ever made.
We love this school. After moving away we realized just how much. The teachers are truly caring and have the kids' best interests at heart. There are many extra programs that have been eliminated from the public school systems such as: music, regular P.E., an actual librarian, Spanish, and more. The only draw-back is that it may be too small for older kids. The kids may be a little sheltered if they are going to move on to a public high school. It could be a very hard transition. I actually think they need to raise tuition rates to make more improvements to the school. As it is, it's one of the least expensive private schools around.
I went to Ascension Lutheran for middle school. Its a public school with a religion class, minus the drug problem. Attrition rate was very high among new comers. Out of 6 kids who joined in 7th grade, only me another stayed, and I stayed not of my free will.
Great school with caring well educated teachers. Parents are very friendly, involved and down to earth. Various after school programs. Students have Spanish, music, P.E. and computers every week. Art is taught by volunteer parents through Art Trek every two weeks.
I am impressed! Even more after his first year than I was when I decided to enroll my son based on my research into the local private schools. All the children smile and are taught in a very loving, academic environment. This school nurtures fascinated minds and good character. A+ in my book. My kindergarten graduate is reader and writer of long sentences and had his science senses filled. He likes learning about his creator daily.
