Zion Christian high school is around one hundred kids in the high school. There is only hot lunch on Friday's. This year they have added a wood working shop class. They do not have any AP classes you can take. I would have really liked to take AP classes to help me get some college requirements taking care of. I wish they had more athletic teams available to join. They only have four boys and four girls girls teams available to join.

My favorite thing about Zion is it's strong Christian foundation. It is a decently small school- about twenty kids per grade.

It's a small school which means a lot of focus on your personal education is given. It's also a Christian school which is something extremely important to me. It has helped me a lot with my future. It has brought me and my friends together and I'm thankful for that.

As a graduate of this school I can PERSONALLY attest to the strong academics. We were held to a higher standard and these negative reviews are dismissive of the true purpose of education. They are based on diversity, being “socially accepted” or being offended. Every school has standards. It’s a CHR...

I appreciate the education and support my students receive at the school. It is evident that the teachers care for each student. I also love that K-12 is all on one campus. It allows the older students to help with younger students, and everyone is part of one caring community. It is nice to know ev...
