My three kids attended this high school and I could not be happier. The teachers and administration genuinely love and pray for the students. As for the challenging education, there probably is not a better school in this county. If you want your child to go to a school that is truly teaching a Christian worldview throughout the entire curriculum then this is the one for you. Great athletics, performing and visual arts and a top-notch marching band are all available.

This is not a school for African American males. Look deep into EVERYTHING before making this your final selection for your Black male. Note how many Black males enter in 9th grade and how many actually make it through to 12th grade. Chances are they will be suspended or expelled long before reaching 12th grade - especially if your Black male child has great things occurring in their life.

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.
