The principal should examine herself before criticizing both students and faculty. She is truly a 'disgrace to this school.' She needs to go...Otherwise, we love all of the other staff and faculty.

Reading the reviews about this principal saddens me. Reminds me of how she was at her old school. Thought she would have made a fresh start. Guess I was wrong. I will pray for her.

This principal needs to retire. She is arrogant, judgemental, and plays favorites with certain teachers and students. Please promote someone else to this job...Both staff and students are unhappy...

A Terrible principal makes the environment uncomfortable to work in...I am resigning at the end of the year... Many of the teachers do not like working for this principal as she is not fair...

It's time for the new principal to retire... We agree with all of the above comments about the principal. Without her it would be a great school!

Parents were more involved with the former principal as the new one is not as friendly or effective(academically) as the previous principal. We do love the teachers...and staff...and pastor...

I am also very dissappointed with the new principal. She is not approachable and really seems to not care for our children.

We are not very satisfied with the new principal either. She is not a true example of what a good Christian should be. She plays favorites with the students and parents.

Not very satisfied with the new principal. Our former pricipal was caring and approachable, whereas this one is not. Maybe this year will be better?

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.

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.
