Senior: I really like it! The class sizes are small, and people are generally nice. However, there's been an issue where students report other students for bad behavior, but these students are only reprimanded when it goes onto social media and other schools know about it.... Read 75 reviews

Alum: Cascia Hall is an extremely prestigious school where you can succeed in the classroom, field, or courts. You will be challenged on a day-to-day basis where you will improve in problem-solving skills and increase your networking as you will be around very accomplished people. Cascia Hall is a Catholic private school where theology has to be taken which I didn't personally enjoy. However, various classes are offered where you can find classes to enjoy. There are positives and negatives to Cascia Hall, but one thing is not in question: college preparedness. Going into college you will be so ready that you are going to think college is easy which most people do not.... Read 90 reviews

Junior: Yes, we are "that school with a zoo," though more accurately, it is a barnyard. I've gone to Riverfield since I was 2 years old, so understandably it has become my second home. The teachers here genuinely care about every student, and the low teacher to student ratio makes it so that you form great relationships with your teachers. The community makes you feel safe and free to be yourself. Students are able to be apart of whatever extracurricular they'd like, whether that be debate, drama, tennis, basketball, rock band, student government, etc., and however many they'd like as every team and club is welcoming to beginners. The small numbers allow for a great environment for learning and growth, though it limits the pool of people you can become friends with. Overall, amazing school!... Read 62 reviews

Senior: Bishop Kelley is a truly special place. I Transferred to Bishop Kelley to start Sophomore year. So, yes, I was at one point the "new girl." But I never felt like the new girl. Because of the amazing environment that BK is, I felt like I was just where I was supposed to be. Since being at Bishop Kelley the past three years, I've made my best friends, developed great relationships with teachers, administrators, and coaches. I wouldn't have wanted any other high school experience other than the one I got as being a Kelley Comet. Since going to school there, I've become well acquainted with Fr. Duy, our chaplain and priest. Father Duy guides students weekly to help the community sand give back. Our campus Ministry hosts various retreats every school year for students to attend in order to grow themselves personally, but also spiritually. Bishop Kelley is truly Home. Once a Comet, always a Comet!... Read 228 reviews

Senior: Augustine Christian Academy is a school dedicated to teaching students how to learn and not just what to learn through a classical education style. It’s a smaller Christian school which allows the students to really bond with each other and build relationships and friendships that last a lifetime. Something about ACA that makes it unique is our House system. It is inspired by European boarding schools and all students from grades 9 through 12 are divided into four Houses based off of their character traits. These Houses participate in competitions in order to win and be the House of Honor for that Quarter. Houses foster leadership in students and it creates a family-like community filled with students encouraging each other academically, spiritually, and emotionally. ACA is designed to challenge students and help them grow and be prepared for all the challenges life will throw their way. As a Senior who has attended ACA for six years, I would highly recommend it to other families.... Read 49 reviews

Parent: My three children attended Tulsa Adventist Academy in various grades and had mostly positive experiences. The teachers were attentive, caring, and qualified, and the school was actively involved in local church activities and community service. All were ready for college and one is now in medical school; one is a histologist; and one is still in college. All of their Adventist education experiences have been helpful to their personal maturation, worldview, and authenticity. No school or teacher is perfect but each child was taught to think and question for themselves, and that is very important for their adult lives!... Read 16 reviews

Senior: I have gone to Metro Christian Academy since kindergarten, and there is truly nothing like it! The teachers and administration are fantastic and have the students' best interests at heart. When all grades, from P-3 to 12th, are in the same building, a strong sense of community is built, and otherwise unlikely connections/friendships flourish. Not only are the academics unmatched, the athletics and extracurricular opportunities are also beyond compare of other private schools in the area. In conclusion, I wouldn't trade my time at Metro for anything and seriously recommend it to anyone!... Read 73 reviews

Alum: It is a wonderful christian school. It is small and you get the opportunity to really know the teachers and faculty. I felt like family there and knew that they actually cared about my success. They can do better with college readiness and flexibility for concurrent classes, but they do as much as they can with the resources provided a small private school. They are trying to expand their sports and various activities as well so that everyone can have a place to get involved. A great school and a great community.... Read 4 reviews

Senior: Mingo Valley Christian is a very solid, small Christian school. It is a place to be deeply connected with the student body, as well as your teachers. Here, your teachers and classmates know you by your first name, you receive a quality education, and are presented with many opportunities for extracurricular activities you can participate in. It is also a great place to deepen your relationship with God and learn and grow in Him.... Read 77 reviews

Senior: I have attended Lincoln Christian school since first grade. My entire experience was fantastic ,and the environment presented to me in all grades was superior. Lincoln offers many opportunities for students to show who they are and thrive in their gifts. The teachers at Lincoln Christian also lean in to the students and care about the student's well being. As a Christian School, they also aim to develop leaders in Christ. Another benefit is that the majority of students that come out of Lincoln are highly sought after. One thing I would change about lincoln is their hard fixation on certain aspects of schooling. Many students at my school see that admisnistartion favors some sports over other even though the favored sports perform worse than those that aren't the favorites. I would like to see equal efforts to celebrate all sports and activities. Overall, I still believe this school has shaped me to who I am. It has also given me some of the greatest friends that I'll ever have.... Read 126 reviews

Senior: Lighthouse Christian Academy is a fantastic school!! The teachers truly care about their students and want to see everyone of them succeed. One thing I love about LCA is the small class size. Since the classes are smaller the teachers are able to give more one-on-one time to each student if needed. I would recommend LCA 100%.... Read 3 reviews

Parent: We love the community with ILCA. The teachers from elementary to high school are high quality teachers that care about the kids. The Fine Arts department is second to none in a school this size. The STEM department is rapidly growing. This is a true Christian school with chapel a minimum of once a week and Bible/Religion classes that are well taught and 100% Biblical. The school has armed security guards on constant patrol that interact with the students. The students are greeted every morning when they come in the front drive. My daughters have been offered other options and have no desire to go anywhere else. Class sizes are small (My 3rd grader has 10 kids in her class!), and the teacher are communicative. The place where the school has room (and plan) for growth is within the actual space of the high school and the sports facilities. I highly recommend ILCA. -Parent of 4.... Read 25 reviews

Parent: We love Rejoice! Our family has found our home here! This is our fourth school year here and we love this community. We have had kids in the elementary, middle school, and now the high school! We love no uniforms in a safe school that provides spiritual growth, and encourages their students and staff to love others and do good! I love that our kids have a chance in this small, close knit environment, to participate in sports, the arts, and more without needing to be the best in the state to get a spot on the team or a get part in a play. Extracurricular activities at Rejoice encapsulate what school is supposed to be, the place for kids and teens to learn and experience new things by stepping out of their comfort zone and surprising themselves with what they can accomplish! We are raising amazing, unique, and kind humans together as a team! Our Rejoice students are making the world a better place! Thank you, RCS!... Read 126 reviews

Parent: “The mission of University School is to challenge gifted students with a dynamic curriculum in a nurturing academic environment.” As parent to two USchool youngsters, I believe University School is meeting their mission. I'd even add that they exceed it, because they succeed at instilling a love of learning in their students through all the ways the teachers and staff make the children's learning experiences fun. The curriculum is absolutely dynamic and appropriately challenging. I am regularly pleased and amazed about the depth and diversity of my children's knowledge of some new subject. The nurturing community surrounding USchool is fantastic. We are all invested in the same objective: making sure our kids have a wonderful school experience. It is easy to communicate with the teachers and other parents, and to trust that when my kids are in the classroom, on the playground, on a cool field trip, or at a USchool friend's birthday party, they are in good hands. USchool is a treasure!... Read 11 reviews

The school is set up to help you succeed. I made really good friends going to school there, most of which I still have today. This school helped me get through a lot of tough times and Im really glad I went there because I would not be the same person I am today with out it.... Read 2 reviews
