Junior: It is a great school filled with many amazing classmates, so I didn't had any problems with finding friends despite the low amount of students. The teachers are very one on one with teaching, so it helps me learn better in general. While it is a school that has cons having no sports or club to apply to, it makes up for that with the various school events throughout the year. Our school's hours are 9 am to 4:30 pm which seems like a bad thing, however we do get more learning in, time dedicated to study and a degree in the end! My only complaint is that the school doesn't have an actual campus, it is small...Read 74 Reviews

Parent: North Hills is a small private Christian school. It's expensive, but they do offer scholarships for those that qualify. My daughters have attended there for 9 years. They do a great job of intertwining the spiritual and academic needs together for the students. ...They have a good athletic program for a private school that has definitely improved each year. We have had problems with some teachers not being good teachers, but the school has done a good job of hearing from students and parents and making the necessary changes. We have had some great teachers at NHCS that have taught my daughters not only their academics but great life lessons. ...I do think there is room for improvement as far as academic advising and preparing students for college. I would like to see more college test prep and more standardized testing options at our school for our high school students getting ready for college...Overall, I would recommend NHCS to families looking for a good Christian school education.Read 6 Reviews

Senior: Salisbury High School has been a wonderful place to learn. The teachers at this location do a fantastic job at making sure their students are mentally well and prepared to tackle the day. It's a very safe place for the LGBTQ youth and full of people from diverse and extensive backgrounds. A great variety of classes are offered there in an attempt to make the location a STEAM (Science, technology, engineering, arts, and math) school. Our sports teams have performed very well over the years I've attended Salisbury. A great variety of clubs and extracurricular activities. I would recommend Salisbury High School to anyone who strives for a medium sized school that pursues excellence...Read 126 Reviews

Senior: t My experience with North Rowan High School was a very interesting one. The teachers were all great! As long as you did your work, you were in good shape. I really enjoyed learning from the teachers and focusing on bettering myself and my grades. The school is located in a bad area and many of the students did not know how to behave. This made it very difficult for the teachers. I think if there was better disciplinary action taken, then maybe more students would be able to get a better educational experience. Many of the students would disrupt the class constantly by screaming, throwing things, talking loud, etc. This made it difficult for students that wanted to learn to do so. If I could change something about the school, I would definitely separate the good apples from the bad. I would implement this by having more strict school rules and counseling required for those who got in trouble. Sometimes it just takes a little communication to get a student on the right foot...Read 146 Reviews

Senior: Attending Rockwell Christian School has been a great experience! I have gone to RCS since kindergarten and have made long-lasting relationships not only with my fellow students, but with the faculty and staff as well. Everyone at RCS is friendly and truly desires to see you succeed! If there was anything negative I could say about RCS is some of the facilities need upgrading, and it would be nice to see them offer more of a variety of classes. Overall, my thirteen years at Rockwell Christian have been awesome, and I would recommend it to anyone who cherishes a good Christian education...Read 2 Reviews

Parent: My son up till grade 3 was in public. They felt he needed extra help. His grades in the 3rd grade on test were mainly d's. Once he started at TBA his class size was extremely small and could get that one on one attention neededfrom his teacher. His grades went up within 2 semesters. He always thought he was stupid, he said. Now he says he is smart in math and I don't even have to help him. I just look over it, just to make sure he did all his homework. In the 5th grade he got an achievement award for having highest grade point average in his grade. That day was the most important day he had ever. Now all we see are basically A's and 1B...Read 1 Review

Freshman: Prep is an amazing school and gives an educational, athletic, and social experience of a lifetime. It is very challenging but all the teachers are there for you and the school gives you so many resources to succeed. The reason I did not give it 5/5 stars is for two reason : a mediocre science department and the fact that it is all-boys. Not having girls around is pretty rough. The school has an amazing buffet-style lunch and we have champ titles in almost all of our sports. Our dorms need improvement, but at the moment we are building a new boarding facility!...Read 59 Reviews

Middle School Student: I have been going here since the school first opened and it has been an amazing experience. There have been some minor flaws. Like not having an actual cafeteria and a small gym. But the classrooms are a great size for around 20 to 30 students. Most of the teachers have been amazing. The one thing I like about the teachers is that some of them can go into real detail about the lesson. I would say that the school food isn't the best quality for the students.The food comes in little packages, there not warm. I would say they could work on that. ... But these are just little minor's. Overall, this school has been a great school and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who would like to be at school that is kind of private and has great people in it...Read 2 Reviews
