Mount Paran Christian School Reviews

As a former employee, it's hard to say, but a lot of the employees are only there for the benefit of their own children. They don't care about the other children, just whatever they can do to advance and make their own standout. It was not a very Christian atmosphere. You were either accepted or you weren't. There was no in between. People would talk about you behind your back. Best word to describe this school is hypocritical. Say one thing and do another. Just a toxic environment. Academics are on par with public school. A lot of grades are not necessarily "earned." Athletics are decent. Sad that those that play for club outside of school get to take a backseat to an employer's child, even if they are a far superior player. Beyond the facilities, the arts are a joke. Maybe community theater level if you can call it that. Once again, staff kids and "chosen" children are favored. So glad I left. So much better on the outside, even given what's going on in the world.

Review Mount Paran Christian School

I have been going to Mount Paran since the 5th grade and have loved every second of it. Mount Paran has given me so many opportunities that I never thought I could have! From the Friday night football games to the opening night of the different shows MPC has shaped me into the person that I am today! I learn so much about my community, the would, and Jesus everyday! From small groups, chaples, and teacher mentors these are some of the ways that I have grown in my faith in Christ. There is no better place that I want to be then here at MPC!

I am not sure what is going on lately with this school. I'm thinking lack of solid leadership and too many staff that have been there way too long that are not adapting to the changing times. The bad staff seems to currently be outweighing the good. Probably why all the good continue to leave in droves. So many of my kid's friends have left. It is so sad that a few are ruining it for the masses. There is never really any communication into what has been happening over the past several years, but the school is definitely on a downward trend. Not sure I want my child graduating from here. Reputation here is nowhere near what it used to be. So sad.
