Red Lion Christian Academy Reviews

When I attended Red lion. It had up and downs and mostly downs throughout my time there and in academics and athletics. With academically they would make it an environment we’re the good teacher that could teach would leave. And for the athletics they would prioritize one more than the rest.

I have attended Red Lion for 3 years and am currently coming to the end of my senior year. Red Lion is a smaller school but I find that to make learning and finding help from teachers easier. It allows the teachers to evenly distribute their time and truly dedicate their time to all of their students. If I could go back I would have started my entire high school career attending Red Lion Christian academy.

Red Lion is a mid-sized, private, Christian school in the Bear/Red Lion area of Delaware. They're affiliated with Glasgow Christian Academy, a co-op homeschool group, and together they make up Reach Christian Schools.

Red Lion has exceptional school spirit, a variety of extracurriculars and sports, and offers an Honors program for students who excel in the classroom.

I attend Glasgow Christian Academy but spend lots of time on the Red Lion campus- the office is super friendly and gives great advice to guide students.

If you're looking for a tight-knit, Christian K-12 school, this is as good as any other while also being more affordable.

Review Red Lion Christian Academy

The teachers are really encouraging and you can feel the atmosphere of love and a godly environment. A school is what you make it, so choose to enjoy life and be an encouragement to others because of the love and encouragement that Christ has given to you!

This school is a mixed school that segregate their students. They start the segregation from Pre-K and continues until the children are old enough to speak about it. They have better classrooms, better desks, chairs, teachers and television for the white kids, while the black African American children are left in classrooms with donated furniture's. Please stay away!

Overall I loved the school! The teachers and staff are great! It's a home like enviorment! The senior school loves sports, football, school spirit, and family values!

I love the atmosphere at Red Lion Christian Academy. Everyone is so welcoming and the teachers are so helpful. The academics are also great and I felt that I learned so many new things every day. I would definitely recommend Red Lion Christian Academy for anyone who is interested.

It's a good private school education, nice community. There is a lot of parent involvement with the school and volunteers. The sports at Red Lion have grown tremendously in the past couple years, and we have really grown as a school.

Both of my children have graduated from Red Lion Christian Academy. They attended since early elementary school. I was impressed with the love that the teachers had for the students and the level of education that they received.

The school administration and teachers have a commitment to Christian education and a desire to see the students grow in their relationship with the Lord.

My daughter was active in sports, drama, choir, and student government. My son was active in sports. Both children took Honors and Advanced Placement courses.

My husband and I are very pleased with the education that our children received at RLCA and our children enjoyed their time there.

Red Lion used to be a great school that was Christ centered but sadly that has changed. The behavior has gone down hill and it's a revolving door of teachers.

No diversity amongst the staff or leadership team. Leadership team lacks diversity training. Incidents that happen are not immediately addressed unless it’s brought to their attention.

I have been at Red Lion Christian Academy since 2nd grade. In Elementary school (grades 2-5), the school was enriching and wonderful. However, as I grew older and entered middle school and high school, the teachers were not nearly as good and the classes offered were limited.

I've been to both of Red Lion's campuses, but I prefer the Glasgow campus. The high school was a lot smaller, so everyone knew each other and everyone had their own friend groups. Because we only had to be physically on campus once a week, drama was seldom. Everyone came to campus for class and left until next week.

We love our experience at RLCA 9 years and counting, love the small school nature, the close knit community and the really good kids that attend

I have been a student at Red Lion Christian Academy for almost all of my life. It’s education is phenomenal, while staying connected with the strong Christian faith the school stands on. The teachers not only teach very well, but they help farther than they have to and care about the individual student. I really appreciate what Red Lion has taught me and how it made me who I am today!

I was in Red Lion Christian Academy (RLCA) from my sophomore to senior year and while I did enjoy some of my time there it had a multitude of problems. The most crippling problem the school has is its lack of communication in which the administration would run the show with little care about the issues the student council put forth. The school's safety is minimal at best, there's no security guard just cameras. Diversity is discouraged as the school would push its religious agenda heavily and this would come from both students and staff in that during morning chapel the staff that acted as pastors would claim"we are at war with Islam" and "homosexuals will go to hell if they don't repent". There is little positive things to support it, the school has an alright amount of academics, sports, and clubs but that's just it.

I have attended RLCA for six years and getting ready to graduate. RLCA has the teachers here have equipped me to enter college and succeed. I will be attending my dream school in the fall to major in music education. The fine arts department has been a catalyst to help me sharpen my music skills, and to venture into being on stage. Without the constant support of my music teachers, I wouldn’t have stepped out my comfort zone and explored the area of drama. My time at RLCA has been great, and I will forever be grateful to the facility and staff.

Review Red Lion Christian Academy

Red Lion is a good school to be in, it provides students with a good community of other students and faculty. It also provides a good christian education and in this high school the teachers are supportive academically, spiritually and mentally. The education is okay, it is not the most challenging curriculum or the best in the area academically. You are really paying for the community and Christian atmosphere. The sports are not the best as far as winning streaks, but they are an amazing opportunity to connect with other Christians, have fun, and build good team leadership skills.

I had an amazing time at Red Lion Christian Academy. Not only was I able to be involved with multiple sports teams year round, but I also took part in the incredible school musical, choir, arts department, and student government. I was class president for 3 years and the student body my senior year. I was very close with the students, parents, and faculty. I tried to do every extra curricular activity offered, and they were abundant! No matter what you are interested in here, teachers care about you and your needs and want to help you in any way possible. They go above and beyond to create real and lasting relationships that are still strong even after graduation. Every school has ways to improve, RLCA included, but they are doing a great job keeping up with the times and making sure they are Christ, student, and family based.

Red Lion Christian Academy was a "Christian Academy" but lost the religious portion about five or six years ago. At that time, there was a principal there that really cared about the children and how God played an important part in the need to educate them. When he left, so did the Godly spirit. The school needs to get back to a place where God and the children come first. Winning is not everything especially if God is not involved. Teachers should lead by example. Children thirst for knowledge so remove the robotic teaching method and teach them.
