Lighthouse Preparatory Academy Reviews

12 reviews

Not a very good experience. Many unqualified teachers. No diversity. Poor education. Had a bad parent student situation which ended with the parents going to prison.

I attended here from 2017-2024. I will always recommend this school. They love God, the community, and will tell everyone about it!

I started attending Lighthouse freshman year, after being homeschooled my whole life. The transition was easy, and the administration went out of its way to give me the email addresses and phone numbers of students I would be with in class, so I entered with people I could call friends. Teachers have always strived not only to teach us a subject but to develop relationships. Many of the teachers give out their personal phone numbers for school questions, personal issues, and educators often send out notes of encouragement through text. Additionally, I appreciate the many leadership opportunities Lighthouse provides for willing juniors and seniors through small groups, club leadership, and student council. To conclude, attending Lighthouse has proven to be the best academic decision I have made, and I am thankful to Lighthouse Preparatory Academy for being such an important part of my life.

Review Lighthouse Preparatory Academy

In a culture where public schools are actively trying to cut parents out of their child's education, Lighthouse is a breath of fresh air. There is a real partnership between teachers and parents and parents remain a very active part of their child's education. I believe this is most inline with how scripture lays out a parent's duty to remain the primary discipler of their children. I hated the thought of giving my child over to strangers in a public school who may have a desire to disciple them contrary to what I have taught. At Lighthouse, not only do I not have to worry about that, I get to spend more time with them at home under the university model. It's truly the best of both worlds.

Academics are very good at the school. The curriculum is rigorous compared to public schools, but that is exactly what we were looking for. We wanted the bar to remain high for our children so they are adequately prepared to be successful in college.

Lighthouse was a great experience for my family. It prepared my kids for college, and the teachers were so invested in my students. I would highly recommend.

Lighthouse is a great school depending on what you're looking for and the classmates you get. For others, it's not so great. You might have friendly and nice classmates that end up being some amazing friends for your grade school education. You might end up with a class of clique-y students.

As for the teachers, the English and history teachers are often quite knowledgeable and good instructors. They offer a great classic English literature education (although the school could benefit from adding more diverse literature selections). The math and science departments are severely lacking. This is a common problem in many schools, but is especially bad at LPA.

The goal of the school culture to be uplifting and spiritually driven. But this absolutely depends on the other students you HAPPEN to be in school with. I was lucky and had amazing classmates who were accepting and made me a better person. Make sure you listen to your student and whether or not they feel accepted at school.

This school is not what I would call great, but it is okay. It is a college prep school, so obviously, the homework is overwhelming at times. Unfortunately, some of the teachers leave you to figure everything out by yourself and you can end up quite lost. I'm a straight-A student who is involved in a few extracurriculars but let me tell you, I had to work hard. LPA is put out to be a great school, I and my parents were fully confident that they would teach and guide us kids closer to the Lord. It was the opposite. There is next to no supervision and some people are ruthless. I lost so much confidence in myself. Anyway, there's a group of republican, anti-masker, homophobic, racist white kids everywhere you turn, which never makes for a good environment. Most teachers are homophobic, xenophobic, and transphobic.
Depending on the coach, the sports are good, but it's never a guaranteed good team. Oh, also there's a broken toilet they haven't fixed for two years.

The teachers are so nice! My classmates can be jerks at times, and some stuff is difficult, but I would say the school is pretty good, though the teachers sometimes forget that the school is interdenominational and mention decision theology. :)

Lighthouse was a really great school. It is a college prep school that really has gotten me prepared for college and the way classes will work and the way teachers will communicate and assign things. I only went to school on Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays and other days were considered “satellite days” where we did a bunch of homework. The teachers and staff were really great, there were some complications throughout the years with people, but overall the school was really great.

I love Lighthouse! This is my first year being there but I would say it is an AMAZING Christian private school. Kids are nice and no bulling happens.

Most of there teachers did not explain hardly anything but LPA is a very well hight educated Christain school.

Lighthouse is a school devoted to its students. It provides excellent writing education and above average mathematics. There are a variety of classes offered at different times. Due to its small size, there are not as may classes offered as a public school, so some students may turn to home school, online, or community college classes. However, each teacher gets to know each student on a personal level. I would choose LPA over any other large school due to its exceptional education, college preparation, and multiple clubs and sports.
