My child received and excellent education at Epiphany, and a love for learning. The teachers were very responsive and helpful and really prepared my child for high school. We felt very comfortable with this family atmosphere that educated my whole child. He continues to associate with friends that he made while attending Epiphany.

We are very pleased and grateful for Epiphany Catholic School. The principal, is a genuinely caring and christian educator. Our daughter has attended Epiphany Catholic School since Kindergarten and we can see the developmental advantages from choosing epiphany. The support of the parent Church and pastor, is also a huge testament to the purpose and drive of the school. Thank you Epiphany, we pray for continued success so that others may benefit from this historical and important institution.

This is a wonderful school. The school stresses academics, community service, and religeous study. This a a great place for children to learn and grow.

This was a wonderful learning experience for me. The teachers were very considerate and truly seemed to care about their student's education. Extracurricular activities are lacking a little, but hey, it is a small school. Parent involvement is integral. My only complaint from when I went there was the clique behavior. As common as it was, nothing ever seemed to be done about it! I survived though and am much better for it. Also, if you aren't Catholic they don't try to force-feed it to you.

Epiphany is the best School! It is fun, and you get alot of hands-on activities to participate in. The teachers really get to know the students, and its easy to remember who your classmates are because of the small class sizes. I am still attending Epiphany, and have been attending since 6th grade. I would recomend this wonderful learning enviroment to any parent.

This school has come a long way in recent years. The principal and my son's fourth grade teacher are very responsive to parent input. Homework can go a little overboard, but the teacher is working with parents/students on getting this to a reasonable level. The teachers seem very respectful of the students. There is no harsh 'backwoods' punishment as I've seen in area public schools. I do wish that the couple of students who consistently misbehave would be removed from the classroom until parents have addressed the problem with their children. This school is heads and tails above the public and other private schools in the Lake City area. Now if they'd only start a high school!

I attended Epiphany several years ago, and have known students of the school all my life. Students of the school have consistently received an excellent education in very well-disciplined classrooms. I was not a Catholic, and was a little nervous about attending at first - but I was made to feel very comfortable by the staff and clergy. 'Clique' behavior - that is, singling out and teasing or bullying the poor, the different, the socially awkward, etc. - has always been very high at the school, however, and the concerns of victim students should be given more attention.

My daughter has been attending Epiphany since Kindergarten. She has received the highest quality of education that I could ever ask for. The Principal, teachers and staffs main concern is the students and teaching them to learn to the best of their ability. I would highly recommend Epiphany Catholic School to everyone

Epiphany is an awful school. I children there are very creul and they will not do anything about it. The teachers choose favorites and they do not grade fairly. Would not recommend this for any child.

Our Daughter is currently attending Epiphany in Kindergarten this year...we had a horrible experience with the public school last year, and were elated to find a school which places so much value on each child and there unique ability to learn, along with an agressive learning curriculum that without saying is second to none. They took time to get to know our daughter and her needs( how she learns best) and the fact that God is the center of there learning experience, it makes the environment one that we are so grateful for. Thank God for such a wonderful school ! I highly recommend them to anyone serious about there childs learning environment and future.

My friends and I think Epiphany was pretty cool except for the uniforms and the principal, Carol Ghionzoli. Most, of the time it was entertaining there aren't many sport options. But overall it was pretty good.
