Maranatha Christian Academy is a great fit for my children. I currently have a student in 5th grade and a freshman in high school. There is a great balance of academics, social interaction, and spiritual formation. The teachers and staff are not only well trained, but care a great deal about my children. I am also impressed with the extra-curricular activities that are offered - sports, clubs, theater, and music! MCA provides my children with a college-prep education, including rigorous academics, strong spiritual climate, vibrant student culture, and high quality character development for a very reasonable tuition.

Incredible school that combines excellent education with an outstanding emphasis on faith in God. Interwoven into the education at MCA are the important things in life like faith, hope, love, relationships, respect, honor, joy, peace, and more. Our kids are balanced and strong in who they are after being there for the last 5-7 years. The teachers and staff at MCA not only care about teaching our kids knowledge, but they truly care for these kids and the families. Servanthood is modeled by adults at MCA, and the kids are out in the community serving others throughout the year learning first-hand what it means to love others as you love yourself. This is truly a 5-Star school and any child that has an opportunity to go to MCA WILL be empowered in an amazing way!

Maranatha Christian Academy is an outstanding school. Our kids have attended since pre-school, 10 years ago. The schools standards of excellence spiritually, academically, socially, and in the athletics that are offered makes our family proud to be associated with this great school. The administrations desire to scholarship kids that may not otherwise be able to experience this educational journey, to me, demonstrates the true love and outreach of Christ.

Community ratings and reviews do not represent the views of GreatSchools nor does GreatSchools check their accuracy or verify the reviewers' identities. Use your discretion when evaluating these reviews.

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.

Test scores

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.
