just save yourself a lifetime of suffering and go somewhere else or send your child somewhere else. the staff and students I've had experiences with at this school are just about the most bigoted people I've ever had the displeasure of interacting with. they even haunt you after you leave. they've messed up transcripts for so many students, including myself, making it a million times harder to send the appropriate documents over to your college or another school you're transferring to. I've heard that some things have changed since I left, but none of them are for the better. save yourself and just go somewhere else

this school is the worst school ever, i was there as an international students for 4 years. this school has the absolute most toxic community and the kids were racist to me, it has nothing the website proclaims it to be. every year more and more people leave but they still try to make everyone stay. i'm now at oaks christian and i've realized how much nicer everyone is, and how i did nothing wrong last year

Most racist and entitled kids I have ever had the displeasure of going to school with everyday. There were at most two good teachers and the rest were either alright or horrible. Class difficulty was about as easy as taking ice cream from a baby. I learned nothing.

Sadly, that hope has turned into deep disappointment and frustration.From the beginning, the administration frequently spoke about “pa...

We have been apart of HCS for 3 years now. The early educations teachers & administration have been wonderful! My children have positively grown in their academics, faith, and behaviors due to the support that they have received here. We are so grateful to be apart of this school & are looking forwa...

The early education administration and staff provide no support to parents when children are struggling. They moved my daughter’s classroom and didn’t tell me. This is not a Christian school for children, it is a popularity contest for parents.
