Concordia Lutheran School

It appears one of my posts was deleted. In my deleted post, I discussed the grammar and spelling used by students and parents.

We love Concordia! My two children have attended since Kindergarten and we have been very happy overall. The teachers are really wonderful people. I feel that when I go to a parent teacher conference that they really know my child and his / her needs. Concordia also has a resource room (for no additional cost) where kids can get extra help if they are struggling or if they are advanced and need more challenging work. All in all we have been very happy with our decision to send our kids there.

Concordia Lutheran in Tacoma teaches to the "whole" child. They teach strong values in a positive, loving environment.

I have been a Concordia parent for 7 years. Both of my children have attended Concordia since Kindergarten. We have had an amazing experience in this school. In addition to getting a great education academically, they are turning into well balanced, well rounded people who care for others and who have developed a strong sense of who they are as Christians. I have to give credit where credit is due and say that the teachers at CLS have had a huge part in helping my kids grow into who they are today. If you are looking to provide your kids with a firm foundation for life, this is the place.

Concordia is a wonderful place. Teachers go out of their way to offer relevant learning and the Resource Room provides opportunities for kids who need help and also enrichment. Jesus is at the core of everything they do. The parent-teacher league is strong and active. My children have been nurtured and are very well rounded because of the education they received at CLS.

I am a parent of an ex student attendiing the school. Does not recognize or explore other cultures. Racism with some of the teachers. Sexist with some of the teachers. Okay for girls to break dress codes and policies, but not certain boys. Very fake teachers, judgemental. Dont address acedemic issues thoroughly, or with more care. If you are not rich and doing special things for the school the children are treated as such. They get shafted, and mistreated. When you try to approach about some issues they try to turn around the issue and blame the children. My child begun hating school because of this school. Child was harrassed, made fun of in front the others by the teachers, not other students.

I am a ex-student of eleven years and have found the concordia experience to be less than poor. The school is run by the head of the board of directors, the principal has no power, teachers are less than good, most are on power-trips. The small class sizes make it worse. They have only two free-thinking teachers and have driven out all others. The jr. high teachers, other than one Mrs. Acherman, are inaduquit and have no sence of what they are teaching. Grades and how the teachers treat you are based on your social standing, wich is based on how much money you have, and how much money your parents give the school. The parent who said that most teachers are "My way or the highway" types are absolutly correct. Concordia is Lutheran in name only. teachers preache "Jesus love you" and that is it.

We transfered in from a smaller school, and I can not tell you how happy we have been with the Administration, the Teachers, the programs, and the educations, support and love this school shows every family. I really feel we have been blessed and plan to continue with them.

As a Concordia parent I had to address the neagative review by the person who only gave one star for this school....My kids have been attending Concordia for 6 years and I cannot say enough good things about it! The teachers are definately not 'my way or the highway' personalities as stated in that strange review. My kids have had 6 different teachers so far. So far I would say 5 out of the 6 are exceptional teachers and the other I would consider average. All 6 of them have been responsive to my children's needs academically, socially, emotionally and spiritually. Personally, I couldn't be happier with the teaching staff. The administration staff has also been very accomodating. They are approachable, present on campus and always interested in the needs of the families.

I just graduated 8th grade from CLS. I went to school there for a total of nine years (kindergarten - 8th). I loved it there. The teachers make learning fun and easy. They show us how we're suppost to live our lives for God. I will miss it a lot next year.
