The best part about DCA is that the teachers care for each student. They pray for every kid all of the time. I love how dedicated they are to teaching the materials needed to succeed. One thing I wish I could see change is the funding for better equipment for our science classes. I am hoping they build a science lab for classes like chemistry, biology, and physical science.

Desoto Christian Academy has been my school for 4 years. I would say it was a good school but we were constantly switching up teachers and classwork would get confusing at times. The teachers were very nice and had a great heart when it came to the students.

I have gone to Desoto County Academy since I was in second grade, and I have always felt like I belong and matter to not only the school as a whole but also to all the loving teachers and administrators. The teachers here really care about not only your academic life but also about anything you may be struggling with. They do all they can to make sure everyone can prosper and learn to be successful later in life.

The only thing Christian about this school is the name.   They do not care about your children or try to help them if they are struggling.    If your child is not the brightest of the brightest you better not send your kid to this school.  Also most of their teachers do not even have a teacher's lic...

Mediocre education, favoritism between family members, and no educational growth. (ie. scholarships, grants, college recognition)If you don’t care about the education, considering this is normal for schools in this part of Mississippi then the worst part in my opinion, is the fact that they grade Ch...
