I couldn't be happier with our experience this first year. My 5 year old is writing in cursive and reading well, and she only attends for half the day! I'm also impressed by her increased maturity, displays of godly character, and overall enthusiasm for learning.

BRCA has been a great experience for our son in Kindergarten! The teachers are highly qualified yet kind and the education is excellent. We love the safe, Christian environment and leadership at the school. Our son loves it and we do too. We highly recommend BRCA.

BRCA has been such a blessing to our son and to our family! It's an excellent school. The teachers and administrator are very caring, creative, and are wonderful role models for the students. We couldn't ask for anything better! We love Bill Rice Christian Academy!

BRCA has been a blessing to our children. they love going to school and we are at peace that they are in a safe christian environment under the guidance of concerned and loving staff. The small size of the school aids in good discipline and order and personal interaction between student and teacher.

Both of our sons have attended BRCA since Kindergarten. We could not be more satisfied, not only with the education they have received, but also with the character traits they have learned. This is a great school with a great staff. We plan to send our next two chldren when they are old enough to go.

If you are a parent wanting your child to not only have the best academic experience, but to know and grow in the Lord, please, please, please, check the school out. No written description can do it justice. My son has been there for five years now and I thank God every day for the miracles and blessings we have experienced through it. He is not only getting a superior education, but has developed godly habits, attitudes and character which has made my job of parenting, so much easier! I am very proud of and thankful for what BRCA has fostered in my child.

I absolutely love BRCA! Sending my son to BRCA was the best decision I ever made. He learned to read books, the bible, and write in cursive in kindergarten. He has many close friends and he loves his teachers. The principal is very kindhearted and sincere. The entire faculty treats each child with love and kindness regardless of race or religion. The small classroom size almost guarantees success for your child. I highly recommend this school to all parents looking for the best possibilities for their children.

My daughter, Erin, attended 1st grade in 1997 and was taught by Ms. Berky. All I can say is it was the best move we ever made, before putting her into our Catholic faith school. By the time my son (Paul) was able to attend St. Rose Catholic School, (opened in 1999), we felt a need to give him the same foundation as we did Erin and sent him when he was ready for kindergartin, with Ms. Stover. We have two very smart children and feel their base at Bill Rice Christian Academy had a lot, very much, a lot to do with it. Good luck in all you do Bill Rice, grow and prosper. The McMahon Family.

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.

Oops! We currently do not have any student information for this school. We rely on the state Department of Education, the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), and in some cases school administrators such as registrars and principals for this data.

More from this school
  • At Bill Rice Christian Academy, your child will receive knowledge and character. Each student receives an excellent, disciplined education. Each student also develops character. Other schools focus on sports or fine arts; we focus on character. Character is doing right apart from outside influences (anticipated gain or possible punishment). We produce academically strong young people who desire to do right on their own by obeying God’s principles.
