The Christian School at Castle Hills Reviews
The superintendent, Michael Pinkston, is the best school administrator and student advocate I have ever seen. He personally pours so much of his heart into each student!
The only draw backs are the amount of gossip amongst high school teachers about students and families (in front of students) and lack of teaching, teacher feedback or response to parent inquiries in the Physics, AP History, AP Government and Economics classes. Based on recent conversations it sounds as though the class issues may be addressed in the 2018-2019 school year.
The academics are fine, definitely not "college prep". You're only offered basic classes. You're typically stuck with one route, AP or regular, so that makes it hard to branch out & take a mix of each. There aren't really a lot of "clubs" or organizations that you can join.
I'm running out of characters but I just wanted to add that the College Prep class Junior year is the biggest joke & waste of time, the teacher knew barely anything!!
