American Christian Academy Reviews
Rating 3.94 out of 5 89 reviews
ACA is great! There are a few tiny things I would probably change, but overall, great! However, most teachers are asked to leave because they do not have the right credentials, so they hire new teachers who, also, do not have the right credentials and/or cannot teach. Some teachers are coaches who do not care about the kids or their education. But there are multiple teachers who genuinely care about the students and their grades and future. The sports are amazing, but all they care about is football, baseball/softball, volleyball, basketball, and cheer. The rest just do not matter unless they are winning a state championship. And most of the teachers and faculty only recognize the "popular" kids, even if they are bad kids. The good ones do not have any recognition at all. But with that being said, it has prepared me in many ways for college and taught me many life lessons. I do love ACA, even with its flaws, I am proud to be a Patriot.
American Christian Academy has given me a better experience in primary AND secondary school than I ever could have dreamed of. The two athletics teams I was part of maintained a great balance between enjoyable and competitive, the clubs and organizations were plentiful, and the students were extremely kind (OF COURSE we didn't all get along...it IS high school we're talking about here; nonetheless, I had barely any problems at all with students and it was a rarity when major issues did occur between students). The most impressive and unique aspect of ACA in my opinion is the teachers. They are incredibly passionate about what they do and are very caring and understanding toward their students, and it makes such an impact. As for academics themselves, the math and science departments need some work; however, the English department is top notch. The biblical education was also phenomenal, especially once I got into the upper grades and we began to dabble in apologetics.
ACA is like a family. The students, parents and the teachers work together to create a fantastic and safe learning environment. There are extra curricular activities for all. From sports, to music, to robotics there are many options. They travel and this provided opportunities for students and families to bond and learn more about the world in which we are apart. They are focused on education as well as developing character. College and career readiness is outstanding. The kids are friends and include everyone. They are very accepting of each other’s differences. It’s a safe environment where the children don’t even have to lock their lockers. The athletic facilities are top notch. There is a dress code but uniforms are not required. It is a Christian school and the students attend chapel weekly.
