As a parent with students in both local public schools and Battle Ground Academy (BGA), the differences are crystal clear: * At BGA, my children are not just names on a roster; they are known for their individuality, personalities, talents, and challenges. * Accountability is a central focus at BGA, extending beyond academics to instill crucial life skills. * Unlike the public school setting, where connections are often limited to the school day, BGA encourages active involvement among students and parents, creating a tight-knit community. *Academically, BGA excels in thoughtful structuring of schedules, lessons, homework, and assessments, allowing students to balance work with fun and rest. We've been pleased with our BGA experience and look forward to bringing over our youngest child soon.

Honestly, I was heavily bullied throughout my time at BGA. I desperately wanted a change from the horrible time I had the the public school I went to before, and for a while, I got that. After a few weeks though, everything got worse. During my time at BGA, I was bullied by people who I thought were my friends. I wasn't able to get new friends because I was practically an outcast because I'm a queer nerd. The teachers barely did anything to help. They tried sometimes, but it never worked. I'm glad I left.

This is my first year at Battle Ground Academy and my overall experience has been really good! I feel like I am being pushed in my classes and I enjoy them. There is also a really good community feel at the Academy.

My kids attended BGA for a total of seven years . All feedback from conferences, report cards, and other academic markers always excellent. I became suspicious when my youngest seemed to be woefully behind in grade level yet the school continued to tell us nothing but great things. Two years ago the...

I have two children at Battle Ground Academy. My sons are in 1st and 6th grade. This school goes above and beyond every expectation I could have of a private institution. The teaching staff is exemplary. The moral standards and expectations of the students are maintained at a very high level. They l...

BGA has come a long way in the past 5 years. New leadership, fresh curriculum, and an influx of quality students has made BGA an excellent school. I would put the education my son is getting up against the best schools in the country any day of the week - and I have taught in some amazing schools. T...
