Our grandson started pre k 4 at Joshua Christian Academy. Our daughter is a single mother so the first year we left our ranch, close to Texarkana, on Sunday night to drive to Cleburne Tx. We would take him Monday thru Friday to school and pick him up. On Friday we would go back to our ranch. We were only going to do that 1 year! Each year we were amazed at his academic and spiritual developement. We couldnt believe such a quality education could be so affordable! Our grandson is starting the second grade! It is hard for us to keep spending Monday thru Friday away from our home, but when we evaluate our priorities we want the best education for him and we want him to know the Lord. We are very thankful Joshua Christian Academy uses the A Beka program and hires such wonderful teachers. If you are looking for a school, this is the best for such an affordable price. We feel blessed. We are not members of the church and we have been made fo feel like part of a great school family.

My son went to high school here and we feel so blessed to have found JCA. It really is like family there. Every staff member has the students best interests at heart. They honestly care about all the kids.

I have 2 children in JCA at this time and both of them are learning a lot. They are very excited about going to school everyday and really seem to love their teachers. I love the standards and the moral values that are taught. There are no rules that I have found that are in place without a biblical principle for its existance.

The elementary at JCA is wonderful - high school leaves alot to be desired - every time I am in the building, there are students roaming around, out of classes and being very disrespectful to adults arround. I went to drop off a payment in the high school office, and had to wait over 8 minutes for the staff to get off of a personal call to even acknowledge that I was there. Dress code does not seem to be enforced in the high school. My child has repeatly complained of the lack of teaching in Bible classes - and that there are subs in as often as the actual teacher. Teachers are late to class - we will not be returning after semester.

Both of my children attended PreK at JCA. They had a wonderful loving teacher and learned so much. This school is very affordable, has high academic standards and teaches children about the love 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.

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.
