School Reviews

Our kids spent several years at South crest Christian School. While it was a landing place for our family it unfortunately was not the experience we had hoped or prayed for. The elementary part of the school is fantastic however once you move into middle and high school the quality of education, the expectation of students academically and respect for each student and classroom diminishes. As a private Christian school they have the privilege to change hearts however there seems to be a huge disconnect of authority which trickles down to the middle and high school students. There seems to be a growth in the school but a lot of turnover year to year of middle and high school students.

Southcrest is an amazing school, its no nonsense and flexible approach to grooming young minds into young adults is second to none. We left a school with a hardened discipline approach, Southcrest prefers Love and Logic - what a breathe of fresh air. Cant wait for the future with SIO brain training curriculum and more. This school treats families fair, not as a source of income.

Our son has been going to Southcrest for 10 years and has really enjoyed all his teachers and classmates. We enjoy watching him learn academically and grow in his faith at the same time. We also enjoy watching him participating in different school activities like tennis and theater productions.
