Lexington Christian Academy

this school is absolutley horrible. the staff is incredibly biased, judgemental, and astonishingly hypocritical. sure, the classes are advanced, and may be a nice challenge for your student. but if you don't want your child's faith shattered by the example of those of the staff who claim to be christians, but in reality don't act anything like a christian would, save your child an adolescence of torment and send them somewhere else.

If you are looking for a great school, look no further. LCA is top notch. My children have been attending since pre-k and are now in 2 and 5th grade. The teachers are very caring and the principals at both the East Campus and Tates Creek campus are wonderful. The teachers really care about the kids. The curriculum is excellent and, most important, Christian values are taught on a daily basis. Remember, no school is perfect. No teacher is perfect. LCA is constantly striving to be better than it already is. I don't foresee it ever becoming stagnant. My children love attending LCA. They love their teachers. We are VERY happy in our choice of school for our children.

Unfortunately, if your child is not perfect academically, physically and spiritually; it tends to anger the staff. It is also very political. Kids get punished differently depending on who they are. The reason I keep my child in this school is only because it is safer than public. I know I don't have to worry about her when she is there. Christianity goes out the window at about 4th grade. It starts to dwindle, then it turns into 'fake' Christianity. It is pretty sad.

My child is completing his second year at LCA. When problems arise, they aren't dealt with, just 'prayed about' which doesn't bring resolution to the tangible problem at hand. There is little communication with the teacher except when there is an issue that arises. If we bring up an issue, we have no idea what was done to address the issue. My son was ahead of his grade level when he entered, and is now testing below his grade level. I believe this is due to him not being challenged (since he is still preforming above in other environments), but instead the teacher teaches at the level of the lowest in the class. It is an affordable option to the other private options in Lexington.

Both our kids have beenin lca since first grade one has graduated the other will graduate next year. Top to bottom this school academically outperforms all public schools and all private schools of similar size. (some micro sized private schools are slightly better). Factor in excellent athletic opportunity and you get a well rounded experience. 1-12th grade you won't find a better institution in this state. Financial aid is available on a need based status, so dont let someone tell you its all about cash. Is it perfect? No but for its size it is managed and staffed with some really outstanding personnel- character counts at LCA!

We have been so pleased with Lexington Christian and find the teachers extremely supportive and caring. They truly go the extra mile and strive to educate the whole child.

It is without a doubt the best possible school anyone could go to. The positive environment and excellent staff is what makes LCA the perfect school.

Lexington Christian is a great school system. Most parents that come to these sites have a beef. I do not. I love the school and staff. I am thankful every day for the opportunity to send my child to this wonderful educational setting.

My 2 children attended the East Campus of LCA. I can not say enough about this school! The curriculum is excellent. The teachers are beyond caring. Their love for the children in their class is more than obvious. They really go the extra step to ensure that each child suceeded academically. They are more than teachers and students, they are family. The school has so many great activites every year. Grandparents Day, Pow-wows, Thanksgiving dinner, Field Day, Field Trips, I could go on and on. The campus itself is safe and secure. We would still be there if we had not moved. My kids STILL tell me, almost a year after we have moved, how much they miss 'their school, LCA'. We hope to return to Lexington some day, and to be able to have our children be part of the LCA family again.

LCA seems to be a hard school academically but, I have nothing to compare to. It seems that the older the kids get, however, the less parental involvement they want and more money! Also, as they progress with their 'business', they have gotten many of their priorities out of order. Many people say that in the beginning LCA stood for Lexinton Christian Academy, now , it stands for Lexington Cash Academy. To sum it up, I feel that you are paying mostly for the safety in this school. It is a very sheltered place. Just keep in mind, nothing is perfect!
