Perimeter Christian School is an amazing school. We have 3 children and have been attending PCS for over 9 years. There is a special love the teachers and administration have for the students and the families in which they really work as a team to pursue excellence and knowledge while creating a solid foundation of faith and serving others. My 9th grade who graduated from PCS last year says that Perimeter prepared him very well in all areas. The tools Perimeter teaches our kids are invaluable. A great experience. Great teachers and fantastic administration.

All three of our children attended PCS for grades 1-8. Each one transitioned to public high school and excelled in their core subjects and were prepared for honors level math and English. We are so thankful for PCS and it's unique environment of small class size and focus on developing the child's heart and mind.

Perimeter Christian school is one of a kind, They have small class sizes which allows for individual attention from the teacher. The students are taught about their hearts and not just getting a grade, but always doing your best. They go deep into subjects, music , arts.... Parents involvement is incredible, the parents get to come and teach on Fridays topics like ancient Egypt, Shakespeare, plants and seeds...

A wonderful school that is most interested in building the character and instilling Godly values of its students in order to prepare them to stand strong in a sinful world. Academics are strong. My child came to Perimeter in 6th grade from a nearby public school and is getting much more personal attention from the teachers. I just wish we had known about Perimeter when our child was in kindergarten.

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.
