Westminster Christian Academy in Huntsville

Posted: April 28, 2025

This school is NOT christian, but rather hides behind the term Christian. They have no idea of how to form positive connections and seems to think that they are God's Gift to parents and that parents should be thankful they decided to "accept" their child. Terrible institution with terrible leadership. It's all about the money for sure and a waste of hard earned money at that. Trust me, there are better options. Keep researching. You will find better. I foresee they start to take advantage of the choose act. Why? Enrollment numbers WILL and already have been dwindling. Don't believe it? Just enroll...

There are many things about this school that disappointed me this year. The car line is run by children taking my toddler out of the car. When picking up my child they dont even buckle him in. I also dont believe this school is safe because they let my mother check him out without even showing any identification or making her sign him out. They dont even seem to have a fence to keep the children in the playground, and they dont even seem to really watch the children. They just expect a toddler to stay in the parameter.

Throughout the school year everything seem to be going well until his primary teacher has to go on leave to have a baby, and they replaced her with someone who has no idea what she was doing with toddlers. She decided to put a weighted blanket on my child on my child without a consent form or prescription from an occupational therapist. This could have harmed my child because they are specific to the childs weight. They decided to call my childs mother and I to have a meeting in February trying to tell us we needed to hold our child back. Then they scheduled another meeting six weeks later to tell us they were not letting him go to school next year. The teacher decided to make this diagnosis that my child had sensory issues without any professional advice. The principal told us that they were removing him because we didnt trust there process. At the end of the school year I read his report and he excelled at all his test even the ones that were titled emotionally and social skills. His lowest two score were 73 out of 100. They made me feel like my child had a disability.

Christian? Seriously? If the parent of the horrible child works at the school, then that child gets away with terrible conduct. It is no wonder that a large portion of the students behave like little monsters. I completely expected an entirely different scenario and school based on what is portrayed publicly. in private this school is terrible.

My children started school at WCA in the FALL of 2020. We were new to the area and were facing the challenges of doing school with COVID. I could not have been more pleased with the decisions made in light of the safety of the students and staff. They did everything they could to make in person learning happen. My children are thriving! The principal is absolutely wonderful. In the 2 years we have been there we have been nothing but pleased with the teachers and staff. I couldn't recommend this school more!

Absolutely terrible. I do not recommend. After going to college, I realized how behind the curriculum was. Also, the school plays favorites with certain families. I beg you to send your child anywhere but here. I cannot think of any positives besides the lunch meals. I know several families who had to pull their child out because of bullying and then did well in public schools.

Absolutely not. My sister was severely bullied at this school and we contacted the school multiple times and they did nothing.

I graduated from there in 2010 and I feel that they did a fantastic job preparing me for college. I was taught how to study and prepare on my own, I was offered help as needed but my hand wasn't held though-out my schooling, I was taught that if I wanted a good grade I had to work for it because it wasn't going to be handed out to me. It is expensive, but the christian environment is great and the teachers I had were very supportive of my mission work once I got out of school.

We love Westminster! They say they are a covenantal Christian school and that is exactly what they are. My children have been at this school for 5 years. We came from public school, and they positive changes in them since coming to WCA have been amazing! I have checked, and the teachers here are all degreed, so they not only offer Christian discipleship but quality education too. I can't imagine sending my kids anywhere else.

Westminster is a great school inside and out. The commitment of teachers and staff members to continuous improvement is exceptional. The people I work with are committed to loving the children and showing them how to follow Christ by example. So many times when you get involved in the inner workings of an organization you become disappointed. That is not the case at this school. I was a parent before becoming employed here, and I am more convinced than ever that this is where my family needs to be.

Our family has enjoyed Westminster Christian Academy since our oldest was in kindergarten. Our oldest child graduated from Westminster and youngest child will soon graduate. We are so thankful to be part of such a wonderful school family. Our children are polar opposites and both thrived here spiritually, academically, musically and athletically. The school is not perfect, because the world is not perfect; however, there is no other place that I'd rather for my children to attend. I highly recommend Westminster!

My child attended this school for 2 years. She has a learning problem and we thought a private school would help but the staff did not know how to handle her. Instead of helping they just have her grades. The first year I just thought she had a bad teacher. But then it happened a second time and the staff acted as if they didn't care. She attends public school now and is in the top of her class. Another problem is they do not want parent involvement and lied to me about my child.

Westminster Christian Academy has been a great place of Christian fellowship and encouragement! Students are distracted by so many things these days and Westminster Christian Academy is a safe place where students are able to grow academically as well as spiritually!

As an upcoming graduate of WCA and spending my entire education there I would love to share my experience there. People are being challenged and getting the education that is being paid for. There is a lot of homework but they (the teachers) are doing it for our benefit to help us be prepared. The Christian environment is great and open but as others know not everyone at the school is a Christian. The teachers all have callings to be there and love to teach. The coaches are tough to make the kids better and teach them to strive for excellence. Anyone who believes that they are wasting money needs to talk to their kids. Kids these days in public school are not challenged and it shows with how national scores turn out. As a Christian and student I believe that only those who want to be lazy and have everything handed to them are the ones who do not enjoy the experience. I wouldn't have traded any of my experiences at WCA with any other. No matter the hardships I believe that this school is the best in Huntsville if not all of Alabama. -Wildcat '13

I attended WCA for high school. Going to WCA was not worth any of the money my family spent (Auburn s full time tuition was cheaper than WCAs) Majority of my high school teachers, on paper, were not qualified to teach high school level classes. I ve seen middle school teachers with higher education than what I saw at WCA. Some teachers were actually elementary school teachers that were moved to the high school when there were faculty and budgeting shifts. I had a great GPA at school, because it was extremely easy. I got an alright ACT score which got me into Auburn and Alabama. I went to Auburn and my first year was terrible. I pretty much did not learn a thing to prepare myself for college class life, WCA let the students get away with too much, and they were strict on social policies not academic ones. I 100% believe that I would have been more successful in college if I attended a public school such as Grissom, Huntsville or Bob Jones. My family is very upset and will not refer anyone to WCA because of its politics and lack of education. This school is very cliquey since half the faculty that was employed all had kids there.

My children have gone to WCA for the last three years. I would not recommend this school. I do not feel the education they are receiving is equivalent to the price of admission. They greatly lack in the math department. The administration is also closed minded to problems that arise. They will listen, however, they won't resolve the issues. We have experienced problems with bullying in the school. If your child hasn't attended since early on, they discriminate. The kids do as well as well as the coaches. Overall, I feel like my children will not be prepared for college. If you want your children to be spiritually, academically, and emotionally challenged, do not send them here. The school is also known for its hypocrisy. They should take the word Christian out of the schools name.

Plain and Simple, this school is a waste of money. It is incredible that this place is a private school that people PAY to go to. I cut my losses on my son, and got out in time to get him a better education. His GPA while attending WCA was a 2.9. He was smart, but he began to hate school. He didn't care about the work, and he didnt even seem to care about life and he came home complaining and hating school everyday. Once leaving, his GPA at his new high school was a 4.0, and his college GPA was a 3.8! He still talks about problems he faced at WCA with parents, teachers, and the administration. He has had to talk to a therapists to recover from various issues. His therapy later revealed that 90% of the problems he was facing was because of this school. I would advise you NOT to send your kids here. The education, staff, and atmosphere that you PAY thousands for is terrible. Not worth it.

I went to this school my whole life. There are a lot of negative things that have hindered WCA from attaining a higher level of recognition. The people running this school were so focused on the development of Brockway and raising money that they lost focus on the students currently going there. The amount of extra curricular activities was laughable. The student government was archaic and did not do anything. The majority of teachers were under paid and apathetic as a result. My headmaster would actually belittle teachers in front of students! The student body consisted of either sheltered kids that went to the school their whole life or kids that were expelled from a public school (I guess they needed the $$ for Brockway). Most of the sheltered kids would last one year at AU or AU and fail out because of they weren t prepared socially/academically for the real world outside of WCA. If I could put WCA into one word it would be Mediocre . Hopefully that will change with new staff, focusing on student development through better/more extra curricular activities, and giving students a classroom experience worth the extra thousands their parents will pay.

From a former wildcat: I transferred there starting with junior high and stayed until graduation. Almost all negative reviews are from drama in one's life or an "insufficient" education. First, almost all people who hate a school because of drama(girlfirend/boyfriend problems, relationships, etc.) will hate most schools because they allow themselves to be drawn into or give into certain relationships. Six years at WCA and I had no drama problems because I didn't date a different person or change my friends every other week. Second, as of 2011, WCA has a smaller number of AP classes then Bob Jones or Grissom but that in no ways equates to an insufficient education. My ACT scores were in the top 99th percentile and I was able to get into every school I applied to, the most prestigious being a top 25 nationally ranked school. It is up to the individual student! Even in college I have been well prepared, even ahead. Also, you have more chances to show leadership(vital to prestigious schools)because of the small number of students compared to the large number of extracurricular activities. Last, just visit a football or other game and feel the school spirit for yourself.

I am a former student at westminster. I really enjoyed the school in elementary school but once i got to middle school it was the worst 3 years of my life. The kids are all immature spoiled bratts. the four years i was there i didnt make one steady friend and i am very outgoing, it seems to be that the only kids that like the school are the ones that have been there since kindergarten. I felt that i was not learning as much as my friends from public school and they had better grades than me. The kids are very clique-ey and stuck up, my parents seem to love the school but they havent been there.do NOT send your kids to that school. its the biggest waist of money and there are far fewer opportunities than public school,church is for teaching about God and I feel that school should be about learning about the occupations and how to deal with college, no kids that go to westminster get anywhere in life. okay that is all

My girls have been at WCA for 7 and 4 years now. They both love the school, teachers and learning. They both score Above Average on almost every section of the Stanford achievement test. They also love being in the band. We are truely blessed to be at this school.

I wish I had never went to this school. If I was given the opportunity to go back, I would rather have dropped out! Many of the teachers at WCA are uncaring. Nothing was done about bullying which happened to me on a nearly daily basis. I was practically driven away from going to church for a long time after leaving due to the hypocracy that runs rampant at that school. Also I was a bit unprepared for college as the teachers there refuse to teach scientific theories that would be needed for college level science.

Westminster academics, curriculum, leadership, and facilities are leaps and bounds ahead of the public school that we transferred from. I suppose they are not perfect, but who is? Parent/teacher/administration communication is encouraged and that really makes a difference. Westminster has surpassed our expectations thus far. It's definitely worth checking out.
