To compare it to the AT&T commercials, CTK is soooo 47 seconds ago. From a lack of technology to "old school" style teaching methods, CTK lacks necessary skills for the 21st century. Poor leadership by a principal who is rarely at school and many teachers who don't know how to teach or should have chosen a different profession. There are some really good teachers, but the bad far outweigh the good. Class sizes are large and students aren't getting the individual attention many of them need. Don't let the beautiful school on the outside fool you. What we found inside was a very disppointing experience.
This school has gone down hill. Our daughter went there but we had all kinds of problems with bullying. We tried to talk to the principal of the school but she seemed to be gone all the time or she was busy. There was a lot of gossiping at the school and problems between the have and have nots. Money talks loudly in this school. There was a lack of discipline also which is why we went to a catholic school in the first place and there was not much to offer compared to public schools. In our opinion, it had less to offer academically than other schools and found our daughter was behind when she switched. We also felt there was a lack of christian values in the school. Since we switched, our daughter has excelled both socially and academically. We were so glad we made that decision.
Not a good experience for our children at Christ the King anymore. Our oldest went to the preschool and continued in the grade school. It was fine years ago. As the years have gone by we have seen more and more decline in the quality here. Poor leadership and some staff members that do just the bare minimum have led us to question whether or not our younger children will stay at this school.
We were completely unhappy having our children at this school. There are a number of unprofessional and unfriendly staff members that gossip about the students and families and favor some families over others. There are some lovely staff members and students, but we didn't feel it was worth paying more to attend a Christian school when Christian values are not always present.
My two children attend CTK..we have had a semi positive time there. The staff is wonderful and caring however there is some double standards that probally go on in any school. It seems sometimes money talks pretty loud. Soically the students seem to get along well and work to inculde all members of their classes.
We love Christ The King. Our kids went to the Early Education Center for two years, then moved into Kindergarten. Parental involvement is required, which is great! What better way to see how your children are doing? My Kids have Religious Education, Music, Library, Computer Technology, PE and Spanish along with all the other curricular requirements. I have heard some stories about some of the local public schools, and we are happy we made the choice to place our children at Christ The King. From the Principal to the Janitorial Staff everyone is friendly!
