I love Starkville Academy. I have gone to school here since I was in Pre-Kindergarten. It has prepared me for college and I also have met life long friends here.

My overall experience with Starkville Academy has truly been the best. I have been here since fifth grade and I have felt like family ever since then. Being in a small town, it is a small school so everybody knows everybody. This is not a bad thing though, this means there is always someone checking on you and make sure you are doing okay. The only thing I would change about Starkville Academy would be the amount of courses we have to choose from. I do understand that it is a small school so we can not have all the options in the world, but if I was able to get more classes out of the way for college, I would be less stressed.

starkville academy is probably one of the poorest schools in state. And I'm not talking money, the teachers don't prepare the kids for college & neither do the courses. Not to mention if your kid isn't a rich, white athlete. They'll certainly be an outcast and sit by themselves at the Lunch table. This school is filled with racism. The administration's morales and priorities are all off. They aren't there to help anyone, they only are there for you to funnel your money into their system & so they can turn your kid into a preppy snob. I came here from a public school & would consider going to sa the worst decision on my life as far as education goes. Please don't fall subject to what they'll do at that school. Stuck with Starkville high or Starkville Christian.

I love the way the students see a displayed Bible verse as they drive up. Its a great conversation starter for the children as they get out of the car to begin their day. The teachers are friendly and approachable. My grandson is learning so much at SA. I have loved my visits there!!

Outstanding school! I would not want my children to be enrolled anywhere else. The teacher and other faculty are very friendly and welcoming. They also take time to make appointments with parents, in which they answer all questions and/or address any concerns. Christian values are taught, & Critical...

Both of my children attended this school and had a wonderful experience. They were prepared for college and beyond. SA has a great teaching staff and administration team. Everyone is welcoming and friendly. Great learning environment!

This school was created as a haven for white students to avoid integration. That's it's reason to exist, and it does it well.
