This school started out as a great school. However, in the past three years the school has been on a steady decline. I have removed my children and would not recommend this school to anyone wanting a quality education for their children.
I favor this school because of the academic aspect and the biblical guidance. The diversity and awareness of such, is lacking in my opinion. My child has learned a lot. I won't take that from Grace, but there needs to be more diverse representation among the staff. (The student body is diverse and I believe the staff representation should reflect that of the student body.) I also have learned that the faculty/staff are required to be tithing members of Grace Baptist. That bothers me to some degree. Why does it matter where you serve the Lord - as long as you serve Him? Sounds like a recycle of their money...
I have read several of the reviews listed about this school and I am baffled by one or two. This school does have diversity in both enrollment and staff. The school does have art, drama and a challenging curriculum. Above all, the school provides the Biblical foundation that should be a part of a real education. My family has been there for 7 years and we have watched this school develop and grow and we are very proud to be a part of this school.
If you are seeking a challenging and/or gifted academic program in a diverse/multicultural environment, this is not the school for you. Prior to getting you enrolled, they promise you quite a bit in terms of academics and diversity. However, it doesn't hold true. The student population is very diverse, but the faculty and staff are not. No Asisan, African American or Hispanic faculty or staff. It's a good 'ole girl club & they basically make their own rules & exceptions along the way. Very unorganized and unprofessional. The Principle, Mrs. Howard, put on a good front when we interviewed. She is not responsive or Professional. The teachers are overworked and underpaid without Paras or Assistants. The Christian aspect is good, but aren't Christians supposed to be fair, not pass judgement or discriminate? It's very unfortunate for the students.
