We attended a high school basketball game here and was very disappointed at what we witnessed! The students cussed and taunted the opposing team and the coaches joined in! I expected more Christ like behavior from a "Christian" school. We will not be back at zca

Zion is a clique that starts with the parents and trickles down thru the students. We started fall 2023 and our daughter has NOT been welcomed at all and instead is bullied constantly. Zion is very money focused and bows to those who bank roll them the most. Academics are terrible especially in math. Their basketball program is a major disappointment because their athletic leadership lacks integrity and knowledge/wisdom to lead a program. Glad to be leaving the school in 2024.

Zion Christian Academy is a small private school with good and bad sides. At Zion it is very easy to have a personal relationship with all of your teachers and has small class sizes. Each grade is closely knit and you will most likely know everyone in your graduating class. The school is constantly trying to grow and improve in every aspect.

In fact, one of my daughters is being taught College Level Biology as a Freshman. Exposure to facts and ideas that are above th...

Zion Christian Academy has bullying issues that have been going on for years. They have been brought to the administration of the school and they are never addressed. They try to keep everything hush, hush because of the reputation of the school. I am a parent of a former student and the only way we...
