.As a parent of a 5th grader and an 8th grader at Atonement Lutheran School, I can honestly say our experience has been amazing. From the moment we enrolled, we felt welcomed into a warm and supportive community where our kids have grown academically, spiritually, and socially. The principal and teachers are dedicated, caring, and truly invested in each student's success. I love that my kids get the attention they need to be both challenged and supported-every teacher goes above and beyond to help them be the best they can be. Communication with parents is great, so we always feel involved and informed. The office staff is also fantastic-always responsive, supportive, and willing to answer any questions.Beyond academics, Atonement Lutheran is all about faith, character, and community. Christian values are woven into everything, from chapel services to the way students and staff interact each day. My kids are not just learning-they're growing in confidence, leadership, and faith. The school has such a positive and encouraging atmosphere, and the students are genuinely kind and respectful. Plus, there are so many great extracurricular activities-sports, music, and clubs-that give kids plenty of opportunities to explore their interests.I'm beyond grateful for the education and environment Atonement Lutheran provides. If you're looking for a Christ-centered school that values academic excellence, character, and community, I highly recommend it. We couldn't be happier with our choice!
