This school is like a breath of fresh air! I am so glad we started sending our child here. It is such a huge improvement over the local public schools in Crown Point. The teachers and administrators we have dealt with are honest and actually try to help parents and students. It's nice to have the support you need and the respect you deserve. Mutual respect was absent in the public schools, but is very present here at Crown Point Christian! It's so much easier to help your child when you are all on the same page and not trying to play the 'mind games' that they play in public schools because they know you are an educated parent and they want to avoid you. It makes a huge difference to be around loving and supportive Christians as positive role models for your child. My child's self-esteem has soared since he started attending this school! I would highly recommend it. It is worth the money to get a quality Christian education and preparation for the future without having to worry about your child's safety or that people are just simply trying to get through their day and get to summer like they are in public schools. What a great choice to attend this school!

This rather new, rapidly expanding school is ABOVE average (4 stars) for its kindergarten through fifth grade. But they still seem quite suspicious of the large junior high boy.I rate their junior high section BELOW average (2 stars)My child (who has never done any violent, destructive, or physicaly threatening thing...) is tracked (he says) as if he is a constant "risk". A friend thought her child was treated similarly. They recently got RID of the very negative demerit system. A slight improvement. My strong recommendation: Send your child to the kindergarten/grade school. Feel confident that it is run well with many teachers whose competence and loving character will nurture your child. But QUICKLY act if your child does NOT thrive in their junior high. If you can afford a private school tuition, there are several protestant school alternatives nearby. Note that some boys do thrive in their junior high... I will return when my child is done with the school...to amend this review up or down.

I am an eighth-grader at CPCS and to be honest... this school has given me everything. Great teachers, students, and principals are just the start. Without this school, I would be nowhere. It is a great Christian society with the nicest people on the planet. The academic program is flawless; it's not too challenging or too easy. It is the most Christ-centered school out there; an example: they use something called "Love and Logic" which is a program that teaches kids to solve their own problems, not just go home with a piece of paper that requires the signature of a parent/guardian. I love this school.

...Continued from the previous comment , He's a happy boy with great grades now that we're in a different school I kinda regretted sending our son to CPCS .Our son loves going to school , but , If he were to go to this school still , i am afraid he would ended up hating school , just because all the negative remarks that he got over there . I guess it's a bad thing if your child is really smart and learns fast , because once he gets bored , the teachers / principal would say your child being very distractive , needs medication , and yet they wouldn't do anything to move forward , to challenge his bright mind .

Our child is just starting out. We feel very satisfied. The faculty is very professional and creative. I sense a sound Christian atmosphere and a commitment to academics and cultural development.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 Indiana used the Indiana Statewide Testing for Educational Progress-Plus (ISTEP+) assessment to test students in grades 3 through 8 in English/language arts and math, grades 4 and 6 in science, and in grades 5 and 7 in social studies. The ISTEP+ is a standards-based test, which means it measures specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Indiana. The goal is for all students to score at the passing level on the test.

Average

average

Our rating (from 1 to 10) reflects a school's overall performance. The higher the rating, the more likely the school will prepare your child for the future, so choose an above-average school (8-10) if possible. For average schools (4-7), do careful research and look for evidence that the school has high-quality programs. For below-average schools (1-3), take caution; a low-performing school may not provide the instruction or environment your child needs to learn, and you may need to supplement classroom lessons at home.

Academic rating

The academic rating is made up of equally-weighted parts: students' test scores, their academic growth (for elementary and middle schools) and their readiness for college (for high schools). The graphs below compare this school's results in each area to other schools in the city and state. Growth and college readiness ratings are coming soon, pending publication of 2012 data.
