Under qualified teachers. School lacking many things academically. They seem to be very below average in learning, organization, teaching,and in everything that is essential for a child to learn and achieve today. If it was 1950 they would be an average school for learning.

Linden school is an okay school. Academics are coming along and classroom rules are decent. The only problem I had with this school is that there is barely any extracurricular activities. Yes, they have a band, choir, and they only play basketball but more things shold be incoporated into their program. The staff were kind of disorganized and i didn't see a closeness between the students and teachers. Besides all of that the spiritual aspect of the school caused my child to become more closer to God. I didn't see any school leadership at all that aloud for students to be right in thier mind. This school just needs to step up there game and have more order in class and activities and it will be great.

The teachers and support staff are not just above average, they are excellent. They are the best and do not settle for less than the best from all their students. The high academic, social moral, and spiritual standards are unbeatable, and so is the tuition :).

Very good school. Teachers and prinicipal are very organized, caring and dedicated. The theological teachings are subtle and very good.

School is a good one, but the students are not all at the behavior level to be in such a school.

Linden is a very good school in reference to morals, values and self worth. The spiritual aspect of the school is also well appreciated since it allows the children to maintain a great relationship with God while learning skills to succeed in life. The teachers are easy to work with and always open for communication between the parent and themselves. Staff, well they do need to get a bit more organized and work more efficiently.

The quality of academic programs at Linden are pretty ok. Their math is excellent, their science is okay, social studies, mediocre, english okay. Their availabity of extracurricular activites is pretty simple. You have choir, orchestra and basketball. The parents do actually care about the school. But here's where things fail. The administration [and] their staff are unorganized.

Teachers possess high moral values and teach the children same. The relationship between God and man is emphasized. Academics and music are good.

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.
