Alum: Great community to be apart of! There is always a push to improve resources and curriculum. There is a focus on integrating technology in the classroom which sometimes hurt the learning atmosphere. Considering how fast technology changes this may no longer be the case since I've graduated. Learning is prioritized but fun doesn't get left behind. Dances were always fun to plan and promote and attend. S I wish the visual arts programs were more developed and encouraged. While I attended the art teachers really inspired me, but I wish they had better rooms and materials to work with. By the time I graduated high school, I felt very prepared for college. I do think the counselor didn't give me the time of day because I wasn't at the very top of class and I didn't want to become a doctor or lawyer. Either way I got into a top art school in the country and have an amazing job in my field.... Read 95 reviews

Junior: I have been at Jackson Prep since 6th grade and have loved every second of it! The staff and students are some of the best people you will ever meet. I have had the best mentors through the years. So many amazing teachers have taught me valuable lessons not only in the classroom, but also out of class. I feel that Jackson Prep gives you so many more opportunities that you may not get at other schools. The college counseling program is amazing. The art department is absolutely amazing! We have great athletics, clubs and events. I know high school will always be this amazing experience I can look back on as an adult.... Read 70 reviews

Junior: Jackson Academy offers a wide variety of opportunities for its students. There is a wide variety of boys/girls sports that are very successful at the state level, including a D1 producing girls VB team. JA also offers strong arts programs such as show choir, band, theatre, and color guard. Unlike any other MS school, JA offers a sports broadcasting program comparable to SEC sports productions. JA's history and English departments are the strongest academic aspects of the school. The maths and science departments are good, but nothing exceptional. All in all, the school has something for everyone, whether it be challenging academics, high-performing sports, or more creative pursuits.... Read 84 reviews

Parent: A true family environment! Much smaller classes make for a better learning opportunity. The Athletic program offers any/all athletics that any athlete may be interested in. Bible class is a plus at this school that is not provided at any public institution. As a new transfer from public to this private school, we are truly blessed. Every aspect of our new year has been phenomenal. We love our new family and friends. Everyone wraps themselves around this school and all the students that are here. Keep asking ourselves, "Where have we been all this time?" Looking forward to getting more involved and becoming even closer to all the new friends that we have made!... Read 46 reviews

Alum: Saint Joseph was a very inclusive school. There is no discrimination against the students from any background a child may have grown up in. Sports coaches are very serious about their jobs although and won’t let their athletes participate in after school clubs. Which should change in the future so the athletes can grow into well rounded individuals. They have a wide variety of sports ranging from archery to sailing. Also the swim team are state champions. I recommend participating! They read over the announcements facts about black history in February. Also Saint Joe annually holds an hour long black history dedication show students produced and directed. The rules are very strict and teachers enforce them at all times. They are only preparing you for the real world though. Saint Joe is another family away from home and I recommend attending.... Read 64 reviews

Alum: I am very pleased with Mount Salus. They provide a wide variety of academic, dual-enrollment, and extra-curricular opportunities. The teachers are understanding and open-eared. Mount Salus makes it clear, they care for God's children, so I would feel comfortable sending a parent there. As an alum, I am proud to represent the eagles everywhere I go. The lunches were great and the price was fair. The everyday culture is Christian-based even though they welcome other religions. It was a great experience. The class sizes are small and personal so every student has an opportunity to have their voice heard. They claim to be a college-preparatory school, and I am a personal witness that that claim is true.... Read 10 reviews

Senior: I really have enjoyed the time I've been at Pearl, with all the hard times and rough patches. Pearl High has many good advantages, they have a great pick of staff and assisitants. The most exciting thing about attending Pearl is most definitely the sports. The sports here are always full of excitement and positivity, they are so fun to watch! Another thing I love about this school is the awesome staff! The staff here will help you through anything, if they see you are struggling with something, they will try to work with you to help your grades.

Senior: CCA has supportive staff and is a Christian environment. They are constantly working to improve the facilities both in sports and performing arts. They strive to offer students with athletic or academic opportunities to meet their individual needs. CCA has a laid back environment with an open door policy to parents who want to be involved in school activities and support the school mission. The teacher student ratio is low offering some small group classes. Due to small classes there are some sports that are currently not offered, but there are plans to expand in the future to soccer and volleyball. They do offer cross country, track, archery, football, baseball, basketball, golf, and softball.... Read 50 reviews

Parent: New Hope Christian School is such a blessing. My child attends NHCS as a very sweet, independent, respectful Christian, taught by NHCS. NHCS has given my child a strong educational and Christian foundation. The staff at NHCS is AMAZING! I work full time and feel as if I can”t spend enough time with my child, but, I am proud to say that the school family allows me to do what I need to do and not worry. The staff understands that every child is different, every child has a different personality and not every child learns the same way. They work together to come up with new ideas to make learning fun. They master the skill of effective communication with students. It takes a village to raise a child. NHCSchool will teach your child, love your child and listen to any suggestions or comments. NH has an elite group of teachers and staff that care. If a student has a problem, just communicate it. NH will not let you carry the burden of worrying about your child alone.... Read 6 reviews

Parent: Great school with great people operating it! I was truly impressed. As a non-catholic, I was hesitant to send my kids here. To my surprise, I learned and saw that the religion is taught and not "forced fed". I really enjoy talking with Ms. Georgia, Mr. Lombard, and Cathy Wilson. Those three are wonderful. My children's teachers all have great qualifications and appear to have an individualistic approach to teaching. Such a great place; we are going to keep our children enrolled as long as possible....

Middle School Student: I've been going to NSA since diapers. Currently, I am in the ninth grade, and I have already received access to so many opportunities. Along with education, NSA focuses on making everyone from everywhere feel welcome in our community. Sure, we have had our rough spots, but hasn't everyone? When I have trouble or drama, NSA is my safe haven to be myself. My teachers' goal is to help students achieve theirs. Honestly, so many of my teachers at NSA have helped shape my bright future. I am always eager to learn, and I always feel welcome in their classes. Along with this, I have always found NSA to be so creative and clever. There are so many fun social activities, especially the pep rallies and football games! Overall, NSA has taught me skills that will last me a lifetime. From making friends, to prioritizing education, NSA will always be my home. I wouldn't have anything else for the world.... Read 62 reviews

Parent: I love everything about Templeton Academy! They are very supportive of my son's challenges and provide it when needed. The teachers are team players with the parents as well. The project based curriculum is awesome! It gives the students the chance to learn to work as a team and also use critical thinking skills. The class schedule is unique as well where the student will take 2 courses per semester for 10 weeks and still get all their required credits. Even though school is virtual right now, my son has met some friends. Oh and the class sizes are nice and small. Another thing I love about Templeton is how they praise the accomplishments of their students. My son is featured on their social media pages for winning 2 scholarships for being a philanthropist. I highly recommended Templeton Academy for a middle and high school choice. You won't be disappointed!... Read 25 reviews
