Northlake Christian School

Great School. The teachers genuinely care about the the students. The school does its very best to make sure its students will succeed. Great school all around!

My family has been affiliated with Northlake Christian for the last year - in preschool, elementary and secondary. We have had an incredible experience. Every teacher has loved our children, challenged them academically, and the teachers focus on Jesus first. I cannot recommend Northlake highly enough and I do!

HORRIBLE SCHOOL. THEY SHOULD TAKE THE NAME CHRISTIAN OUT OF THEIR TITLE. A FEW RICH PARENTS TELL THE ADMINISTRATORS WHAT TO DO. IT IS VERY POLITICAL. THEIR ACT SCORES ARE NO BETTER THAN PUBLIC SCHOOL. I WOULD NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS. IN FACT, I WOULD AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

The school is based completely off of politics not Christianity. Although the Bible curriculum is very informative, some of the teachers have different views than the students. This makes them seem judgmental with different religions and the personal lives of the students and families. Also the disciplinary actions go beyond what is stated in the rule book. For example: In the rulebook it states that the boys must have a certain hair length, but what is unsaid is the fact that after the hair is the right length, only certain hair styles are aloud. Although the teachers and administrators are aloud to spike their hair, the students aren't aloud to?

Northlake is constantly changing...and in my opinion has turned for the worse. Ever since the former head master left, the school has consistently made bad decisions. This school is built on politics more than on giving kids the spiritual guidance they need. Also, I think the employment at NCS is biased, especially in the sports program. The spiritual aspect of the school is falling. When Northlake falls, it will begin spiritually. I believe the downwards tumble of this school has started. The school will continue to fall unless the administration, staff, and faculty changes. You should question more about Northlake instead of falling into the stereotypical "Northlake is the best". Question yourselves, research, and really do some digging. There is an ample amount Northlake Covers up. More than any public school.

It's unfortunate some families have a bad opinion of NCS. Our son attended NCS from 6-12 and we were very pleased with the school. As a dad I was fortunate to be able to assist one day a week and can personally vouch for the wonderful staff of high quality teachers who though underpaid considered their job a calling. And they do have a great athletic program that includes football (undefeated district champions), volleyball (state champions), baseball (back to back class 1A & 2A state champions), track, cross-country, softball, basketball, wrestling, weightlifting, swimming and some I've missed. But don't just take the word of people here. Visit NCS and see what it's about. It's a growing school with great facilities. And with NCS your child is somebody, not a body adrift in a large school.

This school is amazing!!!!!!!!!! It is the best school academically and has great sports programs like football, soccer, basketball, volleyball, and baseball!!! They have amazing teachers that love their students and are willing to do anything for them!!! Everyone should go here!!! I promise it will be the time of your life!!!!

My daughter has attended Mandevillie Public Schools since the fourth grade. She did wonderfully until she moved into high school. She had difficulty adjusting to the larger school. We moved her to NCS mid way through her freshmen year. She excelled! the teachers and administration were very anxious to help her adjust and they worked with her to ensure that she her classes were in sync and that she will qualify for topps. I am so happy with the decision that we made and so is my daughter.

The teachers and faculty are genuinely interested in the 'whole' child. It's so nice to have your child's school stand behind you, as a parent, to help your child excel in every way.

It not only places students at or near the top of their classes upon graduation, but, they provide the most well rounded education(spiritual, intellectual, physical) in southern Louisiana. The teachers usually are extremely qualified but most of the time working well below the average rate of pay for other area schools. Most of them view this as a calling, and, accept the fact that the school is tuition supported without any state or local subsidies. Everyone on staff there always puts the children first and makes sure they are well taken care of while learning. It is well worth the money spent!
