Problem solved at annunciation Catholic academy. The teachers are very attentive the lesson plans even in pre k are light years ahead of public schools. My child will attend this school until she ages out. Anyone that has hesitations about public school check this school out. Annunciation has gone above and beyond for my daughter and I as said she has food restrictions and they make every effort to make sure her diet is met!

My family and I were very disappointed with our experience when trying to schedule a school tour…read more As Deaf parents, we simply asked The First Academy to provide an American Sign Language (ASL) interpreter so we could fully understand the information being shared during the tour. Despite multiple emails and opportunities to reconsider, the school declined to provide an interpreter. Instead, we were told to rely on written communication, tablets, and "extra time," which are not effective or equitable substitutes for real-time ASL access. This does not provide meaningful communication for Deaf adults, especially during an important process like evaluating a potential school for our children. We were also told we could "bring our own interpreter," which shifts the burden of accessibility onto families rather than meeting basic inclusion standards. We left the interaction feeling that the school was not prepared to support the communication needs of Deaf parents. Accessibility should not be optional, and it should not depend on families paying out-of-pocket to participate. I hope the school takes this feedback seriously and re-evaluates its approach to serving Deaf and hard-of-hearing families in the future.

I do not like to give bad reviews, but this facility for children and parents need to be warned!…read more We toured this "school" and absolutely refused to send our children there. The facility is an old home that has been turned into a daycare. It felt cramped and looked extremely dirty. Some of the examples are: The floors and area rugs/play rugs were excessively dirty, literal dirt, leaves, hair, etc and this is where the children are expected to nap and play. We were told that the floors were cleaned and mopped twice per day but this was very clearly not the case. The bathrooms were not kept up, toilets were not flushed when there were feces in one of them and there was urine on the seat of the other bathroom. The soap in each bathroom was water based and there was nothing to dry your hands on. The outdoor "playground" had filthy broken toys. The toys looked as though they were plucked from yard sales or garbage day collections. The toys had excessive dirt, mold and even bugs on them. It was not a safe place for children to play. The staff here were friendly and the owner, Mrs. Hamilton was a very nice person. She could not, however, answer questions such as how long her 2 other teachers had been there or been teaching in general, and she could not answer what the curriculum/objective for each class was. She had referenced the finances of her business leading us to believe they are not a sustainable business, which is probably why it was so dirty and run down. As far as being a "Christian" school, we saw one cross on the wall and no pictures or books about Christianity. When we asked about the Christian aspects of the daycare, Mrs. Hamilton said they sing "church songs." Mrs. Hamilton only spends part of her day the "school" and spends the other half of her day picking children up from school to bring back to the daycare. She genuinely means well I think, but between the lack of leadership, cleanliness, safety, and curriculum, this place needs to be shut down. I do not know how this "school" has 4+ reviews online. I can't comprehend this unless relatives and friends of the owner/staff left the reviews of themselves. I do not recommend this "school" at all and would encourage parents to skip the tour and move on with your school search.

My son's confidence is a prime example of that. He went from not speaking to anyone to knowing and speaking to just about everyone. Also, I don't always speak Spanish with my kids at home, and without having a lot of family around, it means a lot that they continue to learn the language and heritage while at school. What a blessing to have this type of school in the community!

I was already grief stricken and frustrated that I was late and lost. But to not have signage or even one caretaker there added to it. By the time I finally figured out it was in an auditorium, the memorial was ending. The seating arrangement was full so I signed the guest book and waited in the hall for everyone to exit. There were only two people I wanted to see the most there. The restroom was in the foyer of that building so that was a relief considering I drove two hours straight to get there. The set up of my friends photos and flowers were beautiful. Blue/teal were the colors for Ovarian cancer awareness. I appreciate the staff for letting them set up there for her.

I attended a Lenten fish fry dinner here at Saint James Catholic Cathedral school. The school has…read morebeen around since 1928. For the last few years during Lent they host a fish fry dinner for the community. It is held in the school cafeteria. Hundreds of people turn out to have dinner, fellowship, and donate to a good cause. The St. James Knights of Columbus and their families volunteer to batter fry delicious fish, make french fries, and various homemade side dishes. The side dishes, except the coleslaw, it's homemade by the parents of the school students. The mac & cheese is so, so, so delicious. The students also have a bake sale to raise money for their cause. The students are also the servers who bring our food and clean off the tables. They are always so sweet and hospitable and the beautiful representation of the type of students that attend St James Cathedral school. They only do the fish fry twice in Lent. But if you have a chance next year check it out! Also, most of the Catholic Churches around the area host fish fries during Lent. And I can tell you their food is top quality! And what a better way to have some fish and chips, then by supporting charitable causes.

WORST SCHOOL EVER! They discriminate against kids with even the slightest disability (even though…read morethey have known since before enrolling him and they say they have the resources, they refused to use any to help) Said my child should have never been accepted and never given the chance. They didn't want to decrease their academic performance, but what they dont know is that my child was spelling elephant correctly at the age of 3.... knows anything and everything about any animal (has taught us about different animals we have never heard of...but are absolutely real because we look them up) Its absolutely insane that this "Christian school" has the audacity to speak to parents so negatively about your child to your face and dont expect you to get upset. They want their "perfect student" school and dont care who they hurt. My child is devastated and thinks it is their fault but its not.

I'm writing this out of deep frustration and concern. As a parent, it's extremely disheartening to…read morefeel that the school is more focused on money than the well-being of its students and families. Many of us are sacrificing a great deal to give our children a Christian education, yet we feel unheard, unsupported, and taken for granted. The administration in the office does not reflect the values of grace, compassion, or fairness that a Christian school should uphold. It truly hurts to watch good families struggle while feeling dismissed or ignored. I respectfully ask that you take time to truly listen--not just to one voice, but to the parents who are living these struggles every day. Be careful going to this school pastor Scott Dr P. this school isn't a real christian school they only care for money these teachers are not really certified... Please think twice before enrolling your child in this school. Based on my personal experience, I do not believe this is a true Christian school. It feels more like a business than a ministry. They seem more focused on collecting money than truly caring for the students or families. Some students attend for free while others are charged full tuition--this is unfair and not transparent. The administration lacks compassion, and several teachers seem uninterested in the well-being and academic success of the students. Christian values like kindness, fairness, and respect should be visible in every part of a school--especially one that claims to follow Jesus. Sadly, I did not see that here.
