This is a K-12 school. Things are going in a good direction, but there could be a lot of improvements. This school does not receive government funding, so the quality of sports teams and facilities are understandable.

We love how Plaza Heights Christian Academy has helped our son. From low self-esteem and over crowded city schools, we found PHCA to be the opposite. Our son is so much happier with the smaller class size, fellowships, and no one is left out when it comes to sports.

Plaza Heights has been the best fit for my family! I love that teachers challenge my students to learn and grow, but also emphasize the same values and faith that my husband and I do at home. Our kids are getting Biblical Truth from trusted teachers, and it has made a huge difference in their lives....

Everything about this school is awful. Bullying is a big problem here from kids and adult alike.
