I had a really great experience at Pella Christian High School. I am now a freshman in college and I came into college and realized it was extremely similar to what I had experienced in high school. They prepared me so well to handle the workload and class difficulty that I would face when I left for college.

As a soon to be senior, I have experienced all the Pella Christian has to offer and can say with full certainty that the pros of the school far outweigh the cons. The best parts of my experience at Pella Christian are socializing with my friends, either during our free time at school or during our extracurriculars. Although the school is not very diverse, the culture is extremely warm and welcoming to any newcomers. I particularly do not have any moment of my experience that deserves to be categorized as worst.

I am going to be honest with you. People around here are really untrustworthy. The guidance counselor unfairly made me repeat a class and put me in a class that was basically an assisted study hall that I needed. He did not let me take classes because he said I need Study Skills. They also have a shameful system called PASS that basically entitles them to give you an after school detention if you do not finish your homework. So basically telling students stay or have a very unjust punishment. So in summary some teachers are really good and some just want you to suffer through their class with a D. Also the grading scale is weird.So you have to get a 95% to get an A. So this school basically adds insults to injury.I think the perspective might be a little bit better form person that has rich parents that give them everything they want.

I have had 2 children graduate from this school. One is going to be a sophomore at Central College this fall. He was well prepared for Central and was on the Dean's List both semesters of his freshman year. I have one child left that will be a senior this year and is planning on attending Central Co...

Biggest drawback to this school is the lack of advanced placement classes; kids from area high schools go to college with 10-20 credits. There is little to no opportunity to do that here, and I'm not sure why the school doesn't pursue this more.
