I have enjoyed attending Starkville Academy since fourth grade. I transferred to this much larger school due to relocating towns. I have found amazing friends I hope to have my entire life. The faculty and staff are caring and love what they do for a living. I feel like I will be leave my family behind next year. I will miss my time and my friends at Starkville Academy.

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.

The overall atmosphere is good. I would like to see change in leadership as well as guidance. The school parking lot would be better if it was not gravel. If the school invested in a soccer field it would bring in more income just from people having easier access rather than playing somewhere else.

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.
