At Mount Paran Christian School, I wish to see the environment change. The atmosphere of our school is one of the best and worst elements. I feel that our school would be better if families were more heavily vetted upon admissions, rules were established that were beneficial, and when they were not followed, they resulted in discipline, and if we were being constantly poured into.

Great experience all and all as a parent. Awesome community-feel that's entrenched in Christian values.

I've been a student at Mount Paran since preschool and the school is my 2nd home. I've played 6 different sports and found a brotherhood on the football team. Classes are hard, especially the AP's, but I'm doing well and hope to apply to UGA and Georgia Tech. I've had some great teachers and a couple coaches who have poured into me spiritually and helped me know the Lord better.

Wish we had never sent our child to Mount Paran and do not plan to send our other child there. We went there based on recommendations from our church leadership, but even they no longer recommend MPCS to families. They have had a lot of leadership changes, but it still is not where it should be. Tin...
