CFCA is a great school. New administration to CFCA 4 years ago has been the best thing to happen to our school. Academics are advanced and challenging. Teachers degreed in the field they are teaching and excited about teaching. Student body is extremely diverse. Facilities are great. I have two children who have attended the school since preschool. One will graduate this year I am very pleased with the decision my husband and I made to place our children at CFCA. I would highly recommend this school.

Central Florida Christian School is great. My children are thriving there. They are not only academically challenged but spiritually challenged. Many of the families that attend CFCA have the same core values that we have for our family. It has been a real blessing to our family.

The best decision my parents ever made for me was enrolling me in CFCA back when it was called Pine Hills Christian Academy. I am proud to be an alum and now a parent of two boys that attend the school today. My experiences and education at CFCA as a student prepared me for college and as a parent to 2 future CFCA Eagle alumnus. Their academic and spiritual growth as young Christian men is directly related to their attendance at CFCA. I believe the staff at CFCA is gracious and competent in their respective jobs. Their ability to communicate quickly and easily through email and the RenWeb website help me partner with them as a parent more effectively. I highly recommend CFCA to anyone that values a God-first spiritual minded education that will allow their children to succeed not only in a chosen career but in life.

Four ways to describe this school from personal experience... 1. Nepotism 2. Unprofessional - communication break down, poor people skills, untimely in paper work from office 3. False advertisement - students are not taught in small groups 4. Not Challenging - Review curriculum before making a decision. Do not go on what is told to you.

The new CFCA has been the best kept secret in central florida but not for long! This is the perfect school if your are looking for a place to not just educate your child but to inspire them to become the best they can be! They do this by partnering with parents and by equipping the students to see and respond to the world around them with confidence.

My two sons are in middle school and high school and have attended CFCA for 3 years. The academic curriculum is excellent as well as the sports and fine arts programs. I love the Christian environment as well as the small class sizes and the fact that it goes through 12 grade. Administration/Teacher/Parent communication is outstanding. Keep up the great work!

My daughter attends elementary at CFCA. She loves it. CFCA has a wonderful academic program with extra curricular classes. I like the school for its Christian environment, academics and that it goes thru the 12th grade. This school is continuing to grow and is experiencing the usual growing pains. I am hoping that they can continue to retain the excellent teachers they have. Parent involvement also needs to continue to grow.

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.
