• Private School
• Knoxville, TN
• PK, K-12
• 89 reviews

Senior: I moved to Webb my junior year in high school and have nothing but positive things to say! Even though moving schools in high school can be hard, Webb opens everyone with open arms and the community, teachers, and atmosphere are all positive and encouraging. The college counselors and process has been incredible, and every learning experience I have had has been helping me be better prepared for college. Every day, teachers and peers push each other to not only be the best academics and students they can be, but the best people that they can be.

Grace Christian Academy

• Private School
• Knoxville, TN
• K-12
• 93 reviews

Parent: We will begin our 10th year at Grace Christian Academy when school resumes in August. We are excited about the new leadership at GCA this year, but the mission of GCA has not changed - Grace Christian Academy exists to LEAD, BUILD & EQUIP its students to reach their full, God-given potential in life – wherever and whatever path that may be. My children have been a part of many facets of GCA life as GCA has many offerings to help students find their gifts and talents – academics, athletics, art, music, drama, musical theatre, robotics, leadership. Students are also given the opportunity to serve others – through classroom projects in the lower school and/or student serve days in the middle and upper schools. Biblical truth is infused into every class and activity, and my kids enjoy attending chapel each week and hearing the Word presented by different leaders. We love GCA!

Farragut Middle School

• Knox County Schools, TN
• 6-8
• 7 reviews

Alum: Farragut Middle has a strong faculty that encouraged and fostered my education, the school also allotted me the tools needed to create strong bonds between family and friends. Farragut did not let anything hold me back and I thrived at making new friends and improving my study and learning habits. The school required students to try all sorts of activities, one that stood out to me was music. Because these teachers believed in me and gave me the knowledge I needed, I am now currently a well-rounded senior in high school and am about to make a jump into college to study music education and clarinet performance. None of this would be possible without the teachers and staff at Farragut Middle school who taught me to never give up my dreams. I can never give enough thanks to everyone who not only works for the school but also those who support it in the surrounding community as well. Thank you so very much.

Christian Academy of Knoxville

• Private School
• Knoxville, TN
• PK, K-12
• 61 reviews

Parent: My two children have attended CAK the past four years. As parents, we love the sense of community that surrounds CAK. Teachers partner with us and don't treat them like a "statistical number", but as a real person. They learn what works best for each of my kids and have applied almost an individualized method of teaching to ensure they get the concepts that are being taught. I have one child who struggles and the other who finds academics to come easy. The teachers go over and beyond a typical classroom environment -- my child that struggles is able to comfortably ask questions and receive positive reinforcement . My other child is challenged to do even better or more so he does not become bored. If you are looking for a school that educates the ENTIRE child, this is where you want to be!

The King's Academy

• Private School
• Seymour, TN
• PK, K-12
• 52 reviews

Senior: The King’s Acadmy does a great job of focusing on the academics which will prepare us well for college because they are higher level and tougher classes. They also have a great small family-like community, which makes it easier to be personable with your teachers as well and you feel like you are on a small college campus. They need to update facilities because a lot of the buildings on the campus are run down and very old. They could also update the food choices because we tend to have the same things about each week, so just get a better variety of food.

Berean Christian School

• Private School
• Knoxville, TN
• PK, K-12
• 37 reviews

Senior: I love the atmosphere and the genuine care the teachers and faculty show for the students through connecting with each and every student on a personal level. The family Berean creates is visible in the connectedness of it all. They encourage learning in growth academically, spiritually, and personally. I love mostly everything about Berean. They offer many opportunities and I feel they do a good job at preparing students to go through college and other higher education aspirations. The administration is wonderful and listen toothier student body well. The only change I would like to see is the overall campus wide communication. Often times there is a lack of communication between the administration and the teachers which cause problems and confusion for the students. Overall, Berean is a great school! It's affordable compared to some other private schools in the area and offers a welcoming atmosphere and a healthy environment for learning, education, and success!

West Valley Middle School

• Knox County Schools, TN
• 6-8
• 1 review

Niche User: West Valley provided the typical middle school experience for most -- it was awkward, it was prepubescent, it was the time of those gloriously horrendous transitional years. Despite all of this, however, West Valley provided me with an accepting, safe, warm environment in which to grow into a teenager. The academics span a wide range, from remedial classes all the way to high-school-level courses, making it simple and hassle-free for students to learn at their own pace in classes suited to them. The teachers are caring and wish for the students to succeed, and the administrative staff is outstanding. Students are cared for, looked after, encouraged, and loved.
