Arlington Christian School

Arlington Christian School need to take the Christian from their name. The elementary part of the school is great but when it comes to the middle school it lacks a lot. Education is not up to par. The teachers need to attend continue education courses. There is a lot more that goes on there that I have not mention. All I have to say is do your RESEARCH. I would not recommend this school.

Our son started ACS his Jr. year. He says it is the best decision he has made. He only wishes he had started sooner.The teachers and coaches geniunely care about the students and want what is best for them. Most teachers at ACS have a master's degree and alot of experience. They challenge the students to do their personal best in every aspect of their lives. The Christian environment is awesome. I would recommend ACS to anyone who values personal relationships and a small environment.

Arlington is not as good as expected. We have been at this school for a number of years with our children and quite honestly have watched this once proud school for so many years fall to a average to in some cases below avergae school. They have recently put an emphasis on sporting programs. This has led to a demise in the schools culture. Arlington Christian School is just a name. "Christian" should be dropped. They now award students based on the size of their parent's check book and have started to give scholarships to atheletes. We have been thinking of leaving the school at the end of the semester. It was a hard decision for us to come back to begin this year. The "IN' crowd run everything and get all the awards regardless merit. I is disheartening to see what has become of this once great school

Academically, ACS prepared both my children exceptionally well for college. My youngest took various AP courses and, due to excellent delivered instruction, passed the corresponding AP tests with flying colors. ACS' Science and Math departments are unequaled. All teachers and staff are nurturing, loving, and kind. The entire community are "family" and work for the betterment of all enrolled. An amazing degree of parental involvement exists for a school this size, and, due to its smaller size, all children are encouraged to try things they normally wouldn't be able to in a larger publicschool. However, the best thing about ACS is that they are trying to educate all enrolled for eternity, training them to love God and their fellow man. The love shown here was worth all the tuition I spent on my children over 17 years.

I have a niece and nephew attending Arlington. I am glad they are getting a wonderful education, plus sports and religion. They will be an asset to society one day!

Arlington Christian School has been a an excellent experience for my children. They are well loved and respected there. The board is Church of Christ but the school is non-denominational. go visit the school and you will see why the children love it. Sports-good-2nd year football team, basketball teams won state.

Teachers actually care about the well-being, both academic and spiritual, of the student; Top notch academic departments; Social promotion is not practiced; high parent involvement; students have a great opportunity at this school to try things they'd never get to in a larger, more competitive setting

I went to ACS my freshman and senior year and I loved both experiences. Mrs. Edwards took my appreciation for poetry & literature to a whole new level - a gift I'll treasure forever. Before I start listing stories and sharing memories, I'll sum it up - I felt encouraged, supported, and intellectually challenged by all of the instructors at Arlington and would recommend this school to anyone who has a child with a desire to learn, achieve, and to soar. Go Eagles.

Dont send your child to this school. Honestly, i graduated from here and it truly wasnt the best. It was horrible and most of the teachers their are Church of Christ. They are extremely strict and try to punish the least of things. A lot of times they have coach's teaching classes and if you want that just go for free to the local public school. Arlingtons a joke.

This has been my son & daughter's first year at Arlington. They both came here from another christian school in the area where they both had less than average grades. Since they have been at Arlington they both had been on the honor roll. Not only have their grades improved but they both are happy here which means alot too. They are happy and smiling when I pick them up and they don't dread going to school. The teachers have all been very nice and helpful. And the students here made my kids feel welcomed from the start. I highly recommend the school.
