My daughter went here for less than a month - that's all it took for my husband and I to observe teachers on cell phones in class and on the playground; not paying attention to the children. Not to mention, we first-hand heard inappropriate conversations on their cell phones. The only positive is that the Pastor called to apologize. A real shame...

For the 2009-2010 school year, our VPK Program scored a PERFECT score for school readiness!! That means that 100% of the students that graduated from our Pre-K program scored 100% on both ECHOs and FAIR testing. This is further proof that we have an amazing program taught by talented teachers!

I feel they have Excellent teachers and a wonderful staff all around. They are very Christian and help out the children's families during the holidays and throughout the year. All 3 of my children love the school and the teachers and beg to go on the weekend even.

Very unorganized school. I have seen teachers on their cell phones while children were outdoors playing. I would not recommend this school. The administration just tells you what you want to hear and it is not the truth.

This is a great learning center. My son has dramatically changed in regards to behavior and is learning at a dramatically fast pace.

I defintely do not recommend this school. I have been witness unsupervision and the leadership (staff) does not share or support parents.

This school was not the best for my child under old leadership. Although this was a Christain school, I did not feel that this school did not care or treat my family with respect. Planning to file complaint and would like to warn others about my experience. I felt there were alot of unchristain values, very poor leadership and insensitive staff. I recommend finding another place for your child.

My daughter has been at this school for three years and it has been the best school to her. They teach her so many things and they interact with the children so well. Ms. Sadi is an absolute gem. She is very congenial and she interacts with my child very well. I am not looking forward to having my daughter taken out this school where she calls home. it is going to be such a culture shock to her to be in rgular school this up coming school year.

We're picky parents especially when it comes to the care and education of our children. We found Union Park Christian School and it was and still is all that we were looking for. Our 2 children are still attending this school and they LOVE it. The school is clean & they teach the ABEKA curriculum. It's so advanced. Our daughter will be going to Ms. HUll's class for Pre-K, next year. She did an awesome job with our son with our sone this past year. We'll recommend this loving school to anyone. I wish that it would

My son went to Kindergarden here and it was the best school experience to date. He is now finishing 5th grade and going into an International Baccalaureate program. I credit Mrs. Dozier with his early love for learning and that is why he is excelling in school.

I have unfortunately put my son through a couple of daycares due to the situation we were in. This also means that I am well aware of the types of daycares/preschools out there. My son is going on his second year at Union Park Christian School and what a blessing. The teachers and director as well are amazing. They really are in this for all the right reasons. They treat each child as an individual and also teach them discipline. I teach my son manners at home and it helps when they continue to inforce them there. They also include parents when a child is having difficulty adjusting or misbehaving which shows that they do care. Oh and they have awesome feild trips and events for the children. I love this school.

Union Park Christian school has been a blessing. My daughters are in a true Christian environment. The teachers & staff demonstrate the love of Christ to the students and their families everyday. The curriculum is excellent and they encourage the parents to get involved with their child's education. Lots of activities too. I wish they had more grades past kindergarten!

If your looking for a place to start your child in a very loving and caring enviorment that meets and exceeds the standards of pre-school and kindergarden... then this is the place. I have had both my children here and I love the place. I just wish they would teach past kindergarden.

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.

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.
