The school is a good school, in terms of activities and education, but the adults are the worst part. They refused to stand up to bullying and segregation, if not encouraging it. Multiple kids felt unsafe there because of their beliefs or looks. There were some great teachers, but most were not kind.

I was shocked & disheartened today, to face the truth of TFA’s kneeling to the federal government with their allegiance to unbiblical DEI, a program aimed at dividing students, rather than uniting. They will put a child in an in school suspension situation for saying that the group “Black Lives Matt...

We are so thankful that we found TFA! It seemed like God's providence as we continued to encounter parents who had children at the school. ALL of them were raving fans of the school. We have appreciate how the school has loved on our children and made our family feel welcome every step of the way. T...
