Layton Christian Academy

Our family has been very happy at this school. We are a military family and it is our fourth elementary school in the past six years. The teachers are wonderful & truly care about & invest in our children..... this is easy to do with the smaller class sizes - no more than 20, so we love the one on one attention they get as well as how well the teachers know each child and can easily handle any problems as they arise. LOVE it and feel you cannot go wrong with a Christian education!!

First year at this school and so far not a fan. While I love the learning environment they rpovide, I am SICK of the fundraising. Every other week the school is asking for money in addition to the tuition. If you are involved in extra cirricular activities it is even worse. $60 for mandatory cheerleading photos where 3rd graders get their hair and makeup done. Are you kidding me? As a Christian school I would think that they would let little girls be little girls. Overall....dislike.

I would give this a higher rating due to the amazing caliber of the teachers, however the administration ruins any descent rating for the academy. There level of customer service is worse than what you would expect at a Wal mart. They are notorious for nickel and diming through fundraiser's all year long. I would rather pay an extra 1000.00 in tuition yearly and not deal with constant nagging on my child to bring money for every other week fundraiser's. Our two girls attended LCA and our oldest, 7 years old, eventually stressed about having dollars to get bracelets or to be able to get brownies during fundraiser's. Our dealings with administration there were unprofessional to say the least. For a business that thrives on numbers they appear to be in no hurry to smile and be kind when you have a concern. They are defensive in nature and rude. I would highly recommend taking your child somewhere else to avoid having to tolerate the administration at this school. At least until they take a few lessons in customer service. Its business basics but they missed that class.

This is the best school ever..... i am a student here and I am so glad to get to go to this school.... I suggest it to everyone who is looking for a good, christian school.

In the two years my son has been attending LCA it has been a great experience. The academics seem to be above that of a public school. A good example is they start a second language in Kindergarten and have a option for a 3rd in 5-6th grade. This in itself is not a reason to pay for a private school but it is a good start. The staff is very open and communicates with you on a regular basis.

My kids have been blessed with the opportunity to attend LCA since they were in preschool. My oldest son is in high school and my youngest in 6th grade. I taught in public school for 6 years and although I loved it, the class sizes were more than I could take. I also watch my children grow in their faith with God as well as an enrichment curriculum. After six years of teaching in the public school, I wanted to be a part of LCA. I wouldn't change a thing. I will not go back to public. Academics are always a question for new incoming families. My oldest son took the ACT when he finished his 8th grade year and received a composite of 20. That is the national average for graduating seniors. He took it this year and he received a 28. That should tell it all.

LCA is alright.. It is easy to make friends. Everyone is so nice and stuff. Uh..some of the classes are kind of too easy. OH.. and they are very expensive. Its not even funny how expensive they are... Golly Gee. The teachers are nice. Sometimes I think they pick favorites. More than half of them have very great teaching abilities. I like this school.. but I think I will be staying there until I graduate.. :)
