I started attending WCA in the 10th grade. The only real problem I had with WCA was their lack of AP classes or Honors classes; however, they have opened up their academic options tremendously in the last few years. Athletics are an incredibly important aspect of the school and I even played volleyball for a year and enjoyed it a lot. WCA also has a lot of community service opportunities, which I love. WCA has a lot of different clubs and we meet on Wednesday mornings; it's a fun way to connect with other students. The teachers are very personal and willing to help their students in any way they can and that makes school less of a burden. There's also chapel every other Thursday morning and optional Bible studies that make worship and praise really fun. Overall, I give WCA a 4/5 and I would recommend attending it.
Overall, I have enjoyed Whitesburg Christian Academy. The teachers care about students, the Christian worldview is excellent, and the school is becoming better academically. Our first AP courses are offered this year, and Science Olympiad debuted last year. However, the quiz bowl team is in jeopardy and there is no math team.
Whitesburg Christian Academy is lacking in many areas. Academically, they don’t have a STEM program, Honor classes, nor do they have AP classes. In addition, they don’t have any form of a performing arts program. When you ask about these programs, they show very little interest in getting any of them. The school has no true diversity. The entire teaching staff is White and so is the student body from pre-K - 12th grade, with the exception of 8 or 9 children. Unfortunately, the school is unable to properly handle racial issues that have occurred which provides a negative impact as well. For example, allowing students to pass out KKK fliers and not reprimand them should not be tolerated. This is just one incident. When comparing Whitesburg Christian Academy to public schools and other private schools in the area, Whitesburg Christian Academy, doesn’t compare with the other schools.
