What I like about Peniel is the close relationship I have with the teacher. When I need help I have never have a problem asking the teachers because I know they are always willing to help and always make time to help me. It is a small school so it is easier to get help from teachers when needed.

Peniel is a small school, which has advantages and disadvantages. It gives a community feel to the school, but also limits resources. There have been problems in the past with hiring teachers, and there have also been frequent changes in administration. Overall, it's a good school, but it could use some improvement.

Peniel Baptist academy is a good school with good teachers. The faculty and staff really want us to succeed as students and also succeed as adults. The environment of the school is very friendly and accepting. In the past the school has had some problems with teachers and how they weren't teaching very well but with our new administrator everything is starting to come together. My favorite part about peniel is the sports and how the people you play with become your family. I've made great memories at peniel and I would recommend it to anyone. Even though peniel is a small school it has big heart.

The reason why I am rating the school as a 4 is because I beleive there is always room for improvement. The main reason I send my child to school at PBA is for the academic curriculum & Biblical Studies.
