My two children are thriving at Lakehill. They have been enrolled six years now. My junior in high…read moreschool son and ninth grade daughter have learned many valuable social, emotional, athletic, and certainly educational lessons. Moving them from Lamplighter was very timely as they were craving structured environments that had rigorous academics. I am thrilled that they have been able to pursue their passions - including theater, sports, volunteerism, so many clubs, and leadership opportunities. Don't let the small class size fool you, it is a blessing! There are tons of opportunities for growth and they encourage the students to shine based on their own merits. Contrary to that negative yelp post from way too many years ago (P.S. You can't blame a child's drug habit on the school. That's called observant & disciplined parenting), the administration keeps a close eye on the students and alerts the parents quickly to concerns or behavior shifts. I can confidently say that we have parented in partnership with the school to raise smart, respectful, creative, athletic, well-balanced students. And Lakehill's focus on college prep is indeed a strength. The college counselor Ms. Dondis is a highly acclaimed professional - even a sought after expert speaker in her field. We specifically looked at Lakehill because it offered nondenominational education with so many opportunities in a nurturing, structured environment with a solid academic track record. 5 Stars for great academics, sports, a great community of involved parents,and a caring administration!

My 7th grade nephew currently attends this school, and he has since he started kindergarten. He is…read morevery happy to go to school, participate in sports and service projects, and make and keep what are sure to be long time friendships, all of which are long term benefits of a smaller, private school education. I feel as though he is a mature, respectful, well-prepared middler who I expect to achieve a very sold, college readiness experience. In terms of technology, the school does use lots - iPads, laptops, labs..... fairly typical of what I expect from a school such as this. The most important part of my observation is that he is happy and likes to go to school. I'm impressed. When I lived and taught in Dallas, I had no idea what this school was until a colleague left my school to teach there. That was 1997 - and he is STILL THERE! Since then another friend left his school to teach there. At this point it got my attention. Then they hired a marketing director, and the school started appearing more and more in the paper - like a LOT. Service projects became popular and a mainstay, and it was clear there was a strategic plan executed that included some serious "play," which has paid off; all of these things, my nephew participated in. It's a best kept secret for sure. From a community member perspective, living in the Lakewood area was a good experience, and I was able to participate in their fund raisers (Trek For Tech, among others), even though I didn't have kids in the school. Overall, if you are looking for a private school, you may be immediately enamored with the "big 5 (St. Marks, Cistercian, ESD, Hockaday, and Ursuline), and there are HUGE merits to each of them, but Lakehill prep is not to be missed.

The staff and teachers have a genuine love for children, they have very intentional learning goals and make it clear that spiritual growth is a top priority as they incorporate Christ and God into the curriculum each day. Our daughters teacher was phenomenal at meeting her academic needs and with regular communication we worked very closely to make sure the learning continued at home. She loves school, loves showing off what she has learned and she gets excited to see the staff members that greet her each day. HCA is a blessing to our whole family. We highly recommend this private Christian school.

My only regret that I didn't know about this school sooner…read more My son attended for just two hours, and yet the impact was remarkable. Before this, school was something he actively hated. Getting him there was a daily battle. In the short time he spent at this school, that completely flipped. He went from dreading school to genuinely loving it. What stood out most was how quickly he thrived. In only two hours the staff managed to connect with him in a way that made him feel capable and motivated. One of the biggest gifts they gave him was self-discipline. It wasn't forced or punitive; it was taught in a way that helped him take ownership of his own behavior and focus. Seeing that shift in such a short window was powerful. It's rare to find a place that can turn a child's entire attitude toward learning in just two years. Even though his time there was brief, it left a lasting impression.

June Campbell has developed an awesome "Pure Phonics" curriculum that is geared towards younger children and it was remarkable to see our little 3 1/2yr old grasp the concepts laid out so quickly. Wonderful, thoughtful and challenging teachers work here and we have never been more grateful for a friend's recommendation to check this school out. June and her staff have mastered the art of training and educating kids through Biblical principles and their influence on not only our daughter's education but also her love of learning is so very greatly appreciated.

She helped me succeed in any way she could over the years I was under her care. Mrs. Lilly has always been kind, reasonable, and helpful. She provides excellent guidance as both a teacher and mentor. She has a gift in helping others truly understand what they are learning. I highly recommend LELA Academy to anyone who doesn't do well in the public school system. Students can learn at their own pace at LELA which is helpful for the many people who struggle with the pacing in other environments. If for any reason your child is not happy or excelling in a traditional school system, LELA Academy is the way to go. I am still in touch with Mrs. Lilly today despite being 22 and on my own. I boundlessly respect her efforts to help me as both a student and a human being. I recommend her as well as LELA Academy to everyone.

My daughter has attended…read morethis private Christian-based school since Pre-K 4, and she is now in 9th grade -- that alone speaks volumes about the trust and confidence we have in this school. From day one, we have been treated like family, not just another number. The staff, teachers, and leadership genuinely care about each student's academic growth, character development, and spiritual foundation. They take the time to know the students personally and partner with parents every step of the way. The sense of community here is unmatched. The values being taught align with what we reinforce at home, and the love, encouragement, and structure my daughter receives have helped shape her into a confident, respectful, and well-rounded young lady. We are incredibly grateful for the dedication, faith, and consistency this school provides. If you're looking for a nurturing, Christ-centered environment where your child is truly supported and valued, I cannot recommend this school enough.

We have many choices of schools to send our children too but PCCS is the only school I can be involved on a daily basis if I choose with the parent partner positions and where my opinion is heard and not ignored.

We've had a genuinely positive experience in the classroom. However, our experience with the admissions and re-admissions process has been deeply concerning. While I understand that, as a private institution, the school has the right to make its own enrollment decisions, the process felt inconsistent and, at times, lacking in integrity. More importantly, I believe the way it is handled can have a significant emotional impact on children and families. Because of this, I am unable to rate the school highly overall. I have shared my concerns directly with the founder and hope the board will take the opportunity to review the feedback I sent carefully.
