The worst school in Rutherford co I've ever experienced, and I've lived here my entire life. unfair…read moretreatment, discrimination, staff call kids names, students are punished multiple times for one offense, punishments will escalate if working parents are unable to provide early morning or afternoon transportation, incidents are not looked into and they rely on blanket punishments, parents are not welcome in the building, there is no community mind set, staff are very cliquey and play favorites with students. I would avoid this school at all cost if possible.

Nepotism. That's the only word that truly captures our experience with Franklin Road Christian…read moreSchool. As a Christian family, it's hard to even write this. A large part of me wants to stay silent--because it's easier. But another part of me knows I need to speak out, if only to warn other families. What we witnessed at FRCS wasn't just favoritism--it was a pattern of corruption that began at the top, with the newly appointed pastor, and trickled straight through the administration. At the center of this pattern was a husband-and-wife duo--both administrators--who, in the fall of 2024, devised a plan that directly benefited their child, while overlooking other students. We learned of this scheme through their own child. In the months that followed, their student worked to advance that scheme--lying, slandering peers, and creating a false narrative, all make that "advantage" seem genuine. Our daughter became a direct target of those lies. Classrooms full of students witnessed the behavior. When we brought our concerns to the principal--this student's father--he denied the possibility of wrongdoing. We escalated our concerns to the pastor, imploring him to look into even broader accusations of cheating, dishonesty, and ethical violations. We hoped someone in leadership would take a stand for what's right. Instead, after weeks of meetings, we sat in stunned silence at the 2025 graduation ceremony as this same student was honored--not with one, but two Christian character awards. We had done everything the right way. We remained private. We spoke respectfully. We went to the appropriate leaders. We presented clear concerns. And in return, it was completely dismissed. This isn't about awards. It's about integrity. It's about what it means to be a Christ follower, especially when no one is watching. FRCS had an opportunity to stand for truth. Instead, they chose favoritism. To be clear, we have a clean conscience before God. We didn't exaggerate. We didn't lie. We told the truth. And yet, we were met with denial and performative "resolutions" that resolved nothing. The damage done that day won't be forgotten--by us, by our daughter, or by the many students and parents who were just as stunned. The message FRCS sent was loud and clear: corruption will be rewarded if it comes from within the "church". If you have a student who excels academically, athletically or in any other way, know there is a high likelihood they will be overlooked for more favored students.

Another problem with it is that they don't care about the students they care about getting him in and out they pass their own care if they feel they don't care it is just you you can have a few connections with a few teachers. Lastly I would like to point out that the environment doesn't feel very great the students there are the only fun part about it and the teachers there only a few teachers there then OK one positive note though is that those few teachers that are good it will make you your experience a little better there's one principle that is OK..

First- I'd like to start with the fact that there are a few great and caring people that work here,…read morebut I was very disappointed with how my child was treated. My child is 3-years-old and never had any problem until a certain teacher taught her when she went up one class. She was in a class with a teacher who has been there for quite a while. My daughter had an issue with her specifically when she was in a younger class, but I thought it was just because she was strict. Now almost two years later, my child would come home and tell me stories of her day. Stories would include how the teacher was mean and yelled at her, or she didn't get to eat lunch because she couldn't set up her nap spot alone. Something today spoke to me and told me to log on and watch her in her class (they have cameras in each room). I logged on when the teachers were setting up for lunch and the kids were setting up for their nap. My daughter is 3-years-old in a class of almost 5-year-olds, so it's understandable that she would need more help than others. I watched as my child sat quietly next to her nap mat that was folded in half because she was unable to get her fitted crib sheet over the mat by herself. I then watched a teacher fix one of the nap mats herself by putting a child's fitted sheet on the mat. My daughter even stood up, approached the teacher and pointed toward her mat as if she were asking for help. She was shrugged off. I watched painfully for 25 minutes as much child sat pathetically unable to do it alone. The other children were having lunch. My daughter could not eat lunch until she fixed her nap spot. I am a logical and understanding person, but this is no way to treat a child and not allowing them to have lunch is UNETHICAL. After watching for long enough, I stormed out of work and went to pick up my child. I confronted the director, who was very understanding and apologized for the situation, but I will not return my daughter to a place where she feels bullied and is punished for being a toddler. Irate, livid and inconsolable are a few words to describe how I am feeling right now as a mother. As I said, I know there are great people who work at Stepping Stones-- because my daughter had them as teachers and has told me nice stories about them, but I will never return or refer anyone to enroll their child there and feel the way I do now. I urge the staff and owners to look into the teaching methods used and how the children are being treated on a daily basis. And I hope no parents or their children ever have to experience this or feel the way we do right now. I have videos and photos of the event from the online webcam system and I do plan on proceeding further to make sure this does not happen to anyone else's child.
