As a mother, I don't write reviews lightly--especially about a school. But I feel a responsibility…read moreto speak up because a child's emotional safety matters just as much as academics. My experience at University Christian School left me very concerned about the way some situations were handled, specifically in interactions involving Jeleen Del Valle. On more than one occasion, I witnessed a tone that felt harsh and intimidating toward students, including yelling. As a parent, it is painful to watch children being spoken to in a way that can embarrass them or make them feel afraid. I also felt disrespected as a parent during communication. Instead of calm, professional conversation, I experienced dismissive responses and a tone that did not reflect patience, empathy, or partnership with families. When parents raise concerns, we should feel heard--not talked down to. Another concern was what appeared to be favoritism, where certain children received gentler treatment while others were corrected in a more aggressive way. In a school environment--especially a Christian school--every child should feel equally valued, protected, and treated with dignity. I truly hope the administration takes parent concerns seriously and improves accountability and communication moving forward. Families deserve a school environment where children feel safe, respected, and supported--every single day.

Steffaney Bass is truly a gem! As the Director of…read moreAdmissions, she goes above and beyond in every way possible. From the very first email, Steffaney made us feel like we were the most important family she was working with. She answers every question promptly, thoroughly, and with such warmth--it's as if she responds with love and light in every message. Transitioning into a new school, especially high school, can be overwhelming, but Steffaney has made the experience smooth, welcoming, and honestly, joyful. Her attentiveness and kindness made my daughter and I feel not just seen, but valued. She has truly set the tone for what we hope will be an amazing school journey. As a Dean of Students for DCPS, I've worked with countless professionals in education--but Steffaney stands out. Her proactive approach and genuine care for each family are qualities I'll be taking back with me to my own district. She is truly a light, and any school is blessed to have someone like her representing it. I am beyond impressed and deeply grateful. Thank you, Steffaney, for everything!

As a parent, good school are essential to my child's life. Woodland Acres has progressed in the few…read moreyears I have known of it. They have moved from an unpopular school to being one of the more coveted medical MAGNET programs in the Arlington area. The school has taken many precautions after some tragic events in 2012 across the nation to ensure the safety of the children. Security fences all over the schools to prevent people from walking into any classroom, while they have a secure check-in process at the main office. The teachers are very friendly and open in communication and are open to seeing you when you have any questions. My Feagins is a wonderful principal who tries to go above and beyond to make sure every student and every parent have a good experience while attending the school. He is very involved in all student activities and pushes the anti-bullying agenda for everyone. They offer many opportunities for parents to stay involved in school activities, such as FCAT sessions, Readind and Mathematics Celebrations, as well as Spring Carnivals and Summer Open Houses with food and games. PTA is actively involved. Teachers are caring and open-minded. Office staff is thorough and help make sure all the students information or safety are secure. A great school if you're looking for an alternative curriculum to help raise a future doctor, nurse, or even veterinarian. Their medical curriculum begins from VPK with the basics of the 5 senses to the cardiovascular and central nervous systems in the 5th grade. I can appreciate that my children are learning more than they normally would at any other public school.

She has beautiful handwriting, a good attitude, a great vocabulary, and she understands self-governance and the virtues being taught there. Her education is well rounded. I continue to be impressed by the robust but doable assignments and projects she brings home. The school is continuing to grow is is focused on continuous improvement, creating a safe environment and one that enables students to learn and to develop. I would humbly submit that the also deliver even more than one could ask for. Additionally, they are regularly offering events, onsite and offsite that you can participate in. The onsite events are not expensive if you choose to do a Spirit night and support a local business it's not too expensive. The new gym, the Hangar (Jet themed of course) is complete, athletics are coming along nicely, they will have more Arts offerings, clubs are happening.... If you refuse to be pleased here I don't know what to tell you. They're responsive. I have not had one experience that made me feel like no one cares. Are they perfect? No, of course not who or what is? But, JXC is damn good. Period.

This place doesn't even care about the laws required during state testing or following the procedures of students who have IEP's or 504s. Also, I pray new teachers run before taking a job here.

Students wear uniforms that are purchased from Uniform Wear it can be costly for some: five shirts was $65, one jacket was $25. The prices didnt bother me much because it still cheaper than buying regular public school clothes. Parents have donation hours which I participate in but I find it difficult to log the hours because I can never find the time. They offer the students sports and tutoring at the school. The school runs off a lottery to get your child to attend but has preference to siblings and families whose parents are in the Armed Forces, etc. Overall it's a very good school and I would def recommend your child attend.

I hope that i'm making the right choice.
