Poetry Community Christian School

My child attended this school. What I noticed as a parent is that new students were coming in and were all being held back a year. It seems that all students that come from public schools in their eyes are behind so they give you the option of either holding them back or put you in a special education class and charge you double the tuition. Then talking to parents after they left and put their sudents in other schools that their kids were then behind because of being held back at Poetry. The other reviewer that posted that they are very quick to judge is so true. If you are not in the click with the teachers that are parents also they will treat you very differently. Also we had issue with the teachers calling the kids out in class . Do not recommend this school if you have other choices.

I attended this school 4 years and graduated in 2009. The teachers really took an interest in my personal growth, as well as academic advancement! I loved it all the way through. I would recommend this school to anyone interested in giving their children quality education at a fraction of the cost of competing private institutions. As for the reviewer who commented about "Most of the staff are parents who are volunteering"...All the teachers, office employees, and board members (you know the ones who shouldn't be volunteers) are on staff. The parents are there to fulfill a required 4 hours a month "Parent Partner" obligation. To me this was a fantastic idea! Janitorial, construction, traffic direction, monitors, and others are all parents! This keeps costs down as well as giving parents the opportunity to be involved in their children's school lives! There were 10 people in my graduating class, and after 2 full years I am in contact with 6 of them. Being such a small class gave us the opportunity to bond through our high-school experience.

I attended PCCS for 6 years and graduated in 2010. I loved it. The teachers and faculty took personal interest in not only the education of the students, but also their well-being. In being such a small school, there was a great familial environment created amongst everyone who walked the hallways. If I am still in the area by the time I have my own family, I would not even hesitate to put my children in the great Christian environment.

As a former student to this school(I left in the middle of the year), I would not recomend it to anyone. The teachers can be very unprofessional, and sometimes they really don't even care. They choose favorite students, have the most ridiculas rules, and only apply them when they feel like it. They call you out infront of the whole class and adress issues or lies, they herd about you (due to endless clicks unopen to new bestfriends), but not in a good way inorder to clear it up, more like to stir it up. They made me feel stupid and like I couldn't do anything.They are very quick to judge, yet they teach us not to. I think they have good intentions, but they slip alot. People would come in to tour the school and they made us put on an act, what you see in the tour, even the trial day is far from the truth. If you want your child to have a good education, and feel confident, don't send them here.

This school is great! I came in for a tour, and was very surprised! For such a small school, in a secluded area, the students seemed to be very well-mannered and all got along. The teachers were nice, and very professional. All of my questions and concerns were answered directly and the principal is a very wonderful lady. I live 25 minutes away from the school, have put my three kids in, and love it! Parents volunteer to keep their kid in the school, which keeps everyone involved. A lovely Christian atmosphere as well. I highly recommend it.

We came for a tour and I brought my child. We were treated rudely. I was shocked at the unprofessional way I was spoken to. I wouldn't recommend this school unless you live in the immediate area and have no other choice. Most of the staff are parents who are volunteering. Some are very nice and some are not friendly at all.
