This school is the epitome of a family oriented community who puts God above all else! The teachers, staff, and administration care and love the children like their own and make them feel so welcome everyday! My children absolutely love going to school and even beg to go to school to see their teachers and friends when school is out and I don't blame them because I grew up going to Parsons also and graduated from there also. I have always felt nothing but love and support from everyone there. I know I can always go to them for anything whether that's for celebrating wins, guidance, support, and most importantly prayer. You can't count on many people in this life but I know I can always count on them to pray with me or for me whenever I need it. <3 So if anyone ever asks what school I recommend it's this ONE!

Well, for starters the school is extremely dirty. There is no air conditioning in their school gym. The school lunch is absolutely repulsive. Even, dare I say inedible- the school bathrooms now do not have mirrors! Yes, you heard me right. This upcoming school year students will have no mirrors in their school bathroom. And, the “Christian character” of the school is concerning. Not only are the teachers gossips, they choose favoritism as well! So that means if your child doesn’t fit into one of their “favorites” they will be ignored, neglected and even treated differently from others. The tuition is extremely expensive for such a low quality atmosphere. Writing in the bathroom stalls, toilet paper stuck to the ceiling you name it! The amount of times my child has come home crying about bullying is absurd. Heck, they even bully the teachers! They switch teachers to different subjects. ranging as far as a fourth grade teacher all of a sudden teaching high school. The teachers not only are unprofessional, they are unqualified. There are heavily autistic students who are in the same class as non-autistic students. One has even slammed his hand on the desk, screamed, has thrown shoes, broken rulers. Still, no punishment was ever administered to said student. There is much I can say about this establishment but, the most important one is- let this be the last place you send your children. Don’t even get me started on the rodents in the un-air-conditioned gym! Where they have basketball games, physical education, etc The church they go to for their “chapels” is usually un-air-conditioned as well! Seems to be their standard. What’s funny is, they speak about how students will go to hell if they don’t believe in their views. But, seems like they are already in hell, seeing as they lack proper air conditioning…

The school has become unnecessarily money hungry over the last couple of years as no improvements have been made to the campus to benefit the students or parents. For example, the gym has not had consistent working air or heat in the last few years that my kids have attended the school. The teachers are all related in some way or they’re alumni of the school. I highly doubt the teachers are certified in what they are assigned to teach as they are assigned to teach different grades/subjects as they continue to work there. I have at many times felt as the teachers favor the students that are related to staff. An instance of late payments was relayed through my child. An instance of a teacher patting my child down to see if a phone was in my child’s pocket has occurred. Most recently the staff has become snobby, inconsiderate and intimidating instead of kind hearted, caring, patient Christians I once believed them to be.

I attended Parsons Christian Academy for many years and was accepted into every college I applied for. I even received merit-based scholarships.

The teachers and staff truly care about the students and their success. If you have a desire to learn, they will work with you in whatever ways they can to help you accomplish your goals. The teachers are all well educated and knowledgeable in their fields.

There are multiple sports offered for students to participate in as well as arts and dance courses, virtual course options, honors societies, school dances, filed trips and multi-day end of year trips for high school students.

If you're looking for a close-knit family environment where you are heard and cared for, then Parsons Christian Academy is the place for you.

Definitely not the environment I would expect from a Christian school. We were incredibly disappointed a d transferred to a different school less than a month into the semester. I do not recommend.

Terrible and if I could give them no stars I would. They should be ashamed to call themselves a Christian school and the teachers are not certified.

Small schools are not for every child but this one is perfect for our daughter. The building may not look like much but what's on the inside is fabulous! The teachers and staff are very caring and truly have Christian hearts. There is a family atmosphere and an open door policy. They are friendly and welcoming. We are very pleased at the level of academics our daughter is learning and the opportunities she has been given at PCA. We couldn't ask for better and we highly recommend this school!

This is a wonderful. As a student coming from a big high school I thought I was going to hate a small little private school. In a nut shell it saved me. If it wasn't for the great support from my family at home and my family at the school I probably wouldn't have graduated at all. Having small classes and all the help you will ever need from the teachers and staff makes for promised great education, and a family as a extra bonus. Love ya all parsons, Cheyenne

As a graduate of PCA, I love this school. Although private education, especially on such a small scale, is not ideal for some, this school caters to and connects with the students. The religious aspect aside, parents can be assured that their children are being taught by teachers with upstanding moral character and the students best wishes sincerely in their hearts. This school was not easy, as the teachers are not afraid to challenge and expect success, but everyone was willing to work tirelessly to make sure no student got overlooked. The high calibur of teacher at this school inspired me to teach. True, the facility is not brand new, and there are not $1500 computers in each class, but PCA offers something that even the richest schools sometimes lack: a quality education. If you are looking for a school where your students best interests are taken into account, and are comfortable with a close knit, family like environment, enroll your child. I promise you will never regret it.
