Tipton Christian Academy

Some of the teachers and staff displayed a lack of professionalism, and in our experience, leadership did not consistently hold them accountable. One of my children had a substitute teacher for nearly an entire semester, and the only reason we became aware of it was because another teacher informed us via email. When we brought questions to leadership regarding the situation, the responses we received avoided directly addressing the concerns presented.

Additionally, my oldest child suffered a fall during gym class that resulted in her blacking out. We never received a phone call, email, or incident report from the school regarding what had happened. We ultimately took her to the emergency room that same evening, where she was diagnosed with a concussion. The teacher involved is also married to the upper school principal, which further raised concerns for us regarding accountability and transparency.

The amount of staff turnover at the middle school has also been alarming and concerning to witness.

We also experienced issues involving bullying that did not appear to be adequately addressed. In some situations, it felt as though matters were minimized or overlooked because certain students had family members employed by the school or connected through the church. One example included another student placing a “kick me” note on my child’s back. We also dealt with insensitive comments directed toward my son regarding his eczema. These experiences were especially disappointing within what is presented as a Christian environment.

We entered this school community with very high hopes, but unfortunately, each month brought additional disappointment for our family. While we are no longer enrolled, we have since learned that many other families have also chosen to leave the school.

To be fair, we did have several positive experiences with some of the lower elementary teachers, as well as an excellent Pre-K teacher, and we are grateful for the care and support they provided our children.

Ultimately, if you are looking for a school environment that feels more socially driven or exclusive, this may appeal to some families. However, I would strongly encourage prospective parents to carefully evaluate the school’s current growth, turnover, leadership, and overall environment before making a decision.

Tipton Christian Academy is a wonderful school for students to grow and learn! Relationships between students, teachers, and parents keep this small school very family-focused.

TCA is an excellent school where students can experience the academic expectations along with a biblically based world view.
