Parent: We are a new family coming into the school & will most likely have more to say in the future, but our experience w/the admissions & leadership team deserves a review now. We are thrilled & feel like this is a very good fit for us- values, education & community-wise. From the very first moment I heard leadership and staff announce their pronouns, to throughout the many open houses, I feel like we were seen & belong. Both Shamika & Ashaki were phenomenal throughout the admissions process. Their responsiveness, attention to detail, kindness & professionalism were top notch. They both spent time really getting to know us, and contributed to a feeling that no matter what happened, we had a fairest opportunity in the process. Further, to have received an invite right away for my daughter to join a cooking class for new middle schoolers this week blew my mind- we are months away from start & they would be forgiven for taking a break before jumping into welcoming activities! Thank U SSFS!... Read 76 reviews

Alum: I loved attending middle school here. The community was nothing like what I had experienced before, and it convinced me to come out of my shell. The people are amazing, the environment is one of learning and friendly competition, and it specializes in college readiness. There are not many activities or resources, as it is a small school, but the activities that are present are very well put on and the resources are quite useful. It has an extremely safe environment.... Read 2 reviews

Parent: We got into PACT in 2018 and right away we could see a huge improvement from the elementary public school we came from and PACT. The teachers really go above and beyond to ensure my daughters are getting all the help they need. I love the emphasis on character building as well as academics. The small school feel as well as being able to be involved in my kids education is so important for our family. We have also made some great friendships with other students and parents.

Sophomore: Zimmerman is a great school! It gets bad rep for being in a small town, but everybody is great and the teachers are always willing to help. All school events are fun, especially the football games, and there is a lot of school spirit. There isn't a huge selection for classes, but there are enough classes to get what you want in an education. Something that may worry some people is that it's connected with the middle school, however, you do not see them very often as they have their own area of the school. I always feel safe when I come to school and do not feel worried about being harmed. The classrooms are just like normal classes as well as the other facilities in the school. The school just got a new auditorium and it is extremely nice. Our sports aren't the greatest, but you will be guaranteed to have fun in a loose environment if you decide to participate. Overall, Zimmerman High School is an excellent place to go to school.... Read 114 reviews

Parent: Our son is in his second year at KCS, and we love the school! Since he started last year we have seen him grow more confident in himself, and he really enjoys going to school. One of the many reasons why we chose KCS is because of the smaller class sizes, and the hands-on, tailored learning they provide. That is really important to us since he is advanced in many subjects. KCS is a very parent involved school with many volunteer opportunities, and the staff is amazing. I have never gone to a school where the principal is standing outside in the cold greeting or helping students get out of their cars. KCS gives you that warm and welcoming feeling where everyone knows your name. I highly recommend KCS!... Read 2 reviews

Junior: Teachers are knowledgeable are care deeply about students. A very substantial amount of teachers have graduated from Maranatha and have returned to teach. Although they don't get paid nearly as much as they would at a public high school, the teachers find this work as a form of ministry and I have never heard of such love for their students. I have never felt unsafe in this school. They have multiple armed security guards at all times during school and a few stay after hours. I am taking PSEO and am a semester in at Bethel University and feel extremely prepared for every class I'm taking. This school is very academically rigorous and definitely prepared me for college. I've heard about very deep bullying problems at other schools and it seems commonplace in our society but never in my nine years of attendance at Maranatha Christian Academy have I experienced bullying, it's just not in the culture. The cafeteria food is decently overpriced but students are encouraged to bring a lunch... Read 104 reviews
