I love this school. I decided to take by daughter to this school after I found out in her 4th grade that her old school was not checking to see if she completed her home work. Hope Christian Academy solved all that. This school allows students to set their own goals, work at their own pace, and check everyday if the homework has been completed. Everyday, if they have homework a slip is sent home to inform the parents and the parents sign the note for the student to return it to school. The parents are involved with the school. The class size is small. But most time is spent with students working at their own pace. Each year the students are involved with Convention - which allows the students to work and compete in events such as science projects, fine arts projects, & other activities. I think it is excellent.

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.
