Great preschool and school! The teachers and staff take the extra time for each student to make sure that they learn the subject. The kids are getting a great, well rounded education INCLUDING... science, art, social studies and music, things that are cut from the public schools. Small class sizes and a staff that truly cares about each and every child. The school is also a great thing for the family to come around, they host numerous family events like family beach retreats where we can become friends with the staff and other parents. Truly love this school!

I can't believe it finally we found a school that cares so much for are kids. This school has higher quality teachers that are willing to go the extra mile to help out even the lowest students. they really take the time to make sure my child understands the material that they are learning in the class room. The staff communicate with the parents routinely to make sure we are in the loop with my childs education. Grace Christian has before school and after school day care that really helps so I can work and not worry if my kid is going to make it home. No kid is left unattended that means alot to me. I highly recommend this private school to all my friends , and to people like you who were searching for a high quality education for your child.

For a school that's rated so highly, we would've expected much more!Grace Christian School was the absolute worst thing that ever happened to our child, and we most certainly would not recommend it to anyone! My husband and I found the staff, and teachers to be uncaring, and unwilling to work together as a team with us, the parents, to get our child the extra help he needed to grow and succeed. The short time that our child spent at this school was a complete disappointment! I hope other parents will take this review to heart because we'd hate for someone else's child to get the same horrible treatment, and poor education that our child got whilst attending this school. Save your child's self esteem, and your wallet, by sending your child somewhere else!

I love this school. The teachers really care about my child and work great with me in understanding his strangths and weakness. They offer a wonderful before and after school child care that extends during the summer months. They also have a wonderful pre-school that takes kids as young as 2.

We couldn't be happier. The staff makes you feel like family. My son is doing so great academically. His test scores this year were wonderful. I will send all my children here and recommend it highly. The teacher/student ratio gives my son the attention he needs.

All 4 of my children attended Grace for K-6 and we couldn't have been happier! The high level of caring and dedication shown by the teachers makes it a great school. My children were supported in all aspects of their lives, academically challenged, and loved. They are all doing well in middle school and high school , and they have made the transition to a much larger school easily. Grace Christian helps a child grow into the best person he/she can be!

Wow! What a great School! Are academics and standards are well above other schools! We have an amazing faculty that help make the school excellent. We put on an amazing Christmas Musical, in which all the children are a part of. They learn to speak and perform in public. Our sports program will be building this year. We have more students in the upper grades which makes this a lot easier. Parents are great at our school. We have a excellent Booster program that many parents get involved!

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.
