I'm in love with this school. My son and daughter are happier and have learned more than they have in years. I love that I can speak to their teachers daily and that the principal is always around to talk to. You can bet they will be around until 8th grade. Would be nice if they made a high school. Most of all I love how my kids turn to God and pray all the time. Thank you Asbury Staff! Keep up the good work!

Asbury Christian School is an excellent school. My son is in PreK-4 with Ms. Tania (who is very caring, organized, and creative!), and at 4 yrs old, knows all his letters, numbers up to 20, how to write his first and last name, and is reading blends. The curriculum is EXCELLENT and students WILL know how to read by the end of Kindergarten!

This is an excellent school. The Principle, Teachers and the all the Helpers everyone will get to know you and your child. Your childs learning is their number one goal. All of their curriculum is completely advanced compared to any other public school, or even some private schools. I know because I have done my resereach. This school should difinitley be a K-12 school. Even the food is great, made fresh everyday for the kids.

As a public school teacher, I can tell you that Asbury has a great academic program. Their reading curriculum is well above that of public school. Student teacher ratio is low which helps students stay focused and engaged in learning. The tuition rates are also reasonable compared to many other schools. The school lacks extracurricular activities for the students such as chess but it makes up for it in many other areas.

I have no complaints about this school at all. My boys are attending their fourth year at Asbury. Everyone that knows my boys are extremely impressed with their level of education. I highly recommend this school to anyone that has a child at elementary school level.

Both of my sons attended this school for the last school year. They have learned so much and are far more advanced than other children their age that attend public school. I am very confident that they have a good foundation that will carry them throughout their education. The school pricing is also very reasonable. I highly recommend this school.

Fantastic!! My son has learned so much and the teachers, administration and staff are dedicated, nurturing, caring and understanding. Asbury's advanced curriculum does not compare to that of the public school system. The administration and staff know the children by their first and last names. The school grounds are constantly monitored making sure the children are safe. My son is very happy, as I am. My daugthter will begin later this year. It's a great school.

I have nothing but the best memories of this school. It was like a second home to me. The teachers and staff were very kind and I have done well in my educational career because of the foundation that I received at Asbury.

My son started this school with very little pre-k education. Previously I was focusing on his speech problem. He has overcome that problem and started this school last year in kindergarden and is now in first grade. He is doing real good and getting honors. A & B grades. I am very happpy and highly recommend this school to everyone.

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.
