I would rate lower if it would let me... My son went here for 2 years and it was terrible. Save your money and look at other local schools. All these people under here commenting that it is a great school are teachers or teachers children... I knew the school was a joke the first semester in.

Very dirty school. A rat fell through the ceiling. They only show pictures of the new building where they put the children. High school and middle school have terrible facilities. Two older women bar the entrance to the school. Doors are locked except for the one they guard. Would be very easy to get in

The staff is bright and prepared. It is a Bible based, Christian school for those who may not have surmised from the name of the school. As to academics, graduates have attended universities from Yale to William and Mary; from Duke to UVA. They have excellent sports programs and a fledgling Drama pr...

My children have been attending PCS elementary school for the last 3 years . We are extremely pleased for the education, teachers, and friendly staff this school provides. Our children have flourished academically since they started. We would highly recommend this school.
