UCA is a very well kept school that always prepares you for your future. The teachers love their students and have close relationships and help them for whatever they want to major in.

I loved the sense of community and belonging that I felt while at the school. The class size was small enough to where the teachers were able to provide a personalized teaching experience to everyone. I did not like how the school dealt with student incidents.

Overall fantastic; more spaces for improvements on academics. Also, urgent need on improving the food qualities here on campus despite the current situation is understandable.

It was very unfortunate to see how the change in leadership went from God led to lack of Godliness. If you walk into the school you'll never see the principal or even get a hold of her (elementary). The head of school seemed to lack leadership, and allowed too much gossip go on. My time here at UCA...

This is an absolutely amazing school if you are willing to learn and have an eager growth mindset. The 7th grade math teacher is absolutely great, and she opened my eyes to having a love for math. I highly recommend this school. It’s just the homework that effects my schedule, though. :)

4 stars. Only because I have a strong personality and could handle the negative aspects.

The school overall is pretty decent, however do not send your child there for seventh grade if you do not want them staying up too late. The science homework is insane!!
