My middle school twin children have attended several good schools ( California, Virginia, etc) due…read more to relocation, I can confidently say that FCS is by far the best school out of then all. We joined after the school year started and words can't begin to describe the open arms by which my children were accepted by the staff, students and other families. My son went from disliking school to missing not being in school even on weekends. Even though we are of a minority race, my children experienced zero racism! The school has outstanding program in academics, sports, chapel and christian ministry and overall experience. In the short 1 year my kids spent here, the transformation is unbelievable- in a good way, it is great to watch them grow into God-fearing, articulate, and well-rounded young people. We are possibly relocating this year, if we do, I'm sure we will miss FCS dearly, if it so happens that we don't relocate, my children will be ecstatic!

I am writing this review to warn other families about the lack of grace, collaboration, and basic…read moreprofessionalism at Fayetteville Christian School. Our five-year-old son was kicked out of kindergarten today during his second week of school based entirely on a biased phone call with his previous school, without Fayetteville Christian School ever conducting their own assessment or making any effort to get to know him. The reality behind why we left the previous school is entirely distorted by this previous administration and/or administrator. We withdrew our children because a teacher there physically grabbed and pinched my younger 3-year son so hard, it left visible marks and bruises that lasted for days (which we have proof of). We even showed grace and decided not to report it any higher than their admin level and to this day, we have never even received as little as a sorry from the teacher in question. Rather than taking accountability, that school tried to blame a toddler. This event has left such a lasting effect on my son to the point that when we drive by this school, he must tell the story! While we had minor behavioral hiccups last year, we actively worked to mitigate any behavioral issues that arose with them and always made significant progress. By taking another school's defensive narrative at face value, Fayetteville Christian School chose to judge a child based on a single source of gossip. This decision was made immediately after reaching out to the previous school, without warning. My son is a high-energy five-year-old with a huge heart, but this school gave up on him immediately after his first minor behavioral issue. Keep in mind, he is just starting kindergarten where everything is new and where a big adjustment period is expected. To make matters worse, the staff was incredibly rude and dismissive over the phone. Today was the first and last day of any communication regarding behavior from the front office. They entirely refused to work with us to find a solution, and an administrative staff member even implied that a high-energy five-year-old should be medicated. Suggesting drugs rather than offering a structured partnership or simple patience is a lazy, toxic approach to early childhood education. This institution claims to stand on Christian values, but their actions stand in direct opposition to Christ's teachings. Christ commanded to "let the little children come to me," yet your institution shut the door on a child at the very first sign of effort. You denied our son a fair chance, denied our family a collaborative partnership, and handled this situation with hostility rather than the love of Christ. Their so-called Christian Institution is built on conditional love and self-preservation. If you want a school that actually partners with parents and treats children with love and patience, look elsewhere.

He is reading at an advance level and a straight A student. The school is also very nice and everything looks new. I appreciate how the school engages the parents involvement.

Sending my child to NRCA for high school was hands down the worst decision I made as a parent of…read moretwo children over 27 years. Let that sink in. Unless your child starts in elementary or middle school, this is not the school you want to transfer your child into during high school years. They have a serious culture problem. The teachers are uncaring and believe loading on hours and hours of homework is the answer for lack of actual teaching. Really smart and talented students have to employ outside tutoring despite class sizes of 15 students. There is no compassion or personal interest in the children. They will make no effort to get to know your child, I mean like zero. The school day is a grid, no levity, no cheerfulness. And the dumb rules! Good heavens - legalistic in every way. No love, no care, not reasonable, and militaristic in application. Now the students. They are worse. First you must realize that even though parents and grandparents sending them there may be Christian, that does NOT in any way mean the children are Christian. They actually seem to have contempt and rebellion against our faith. The joke around town is that NRCA actually stands for Not Really Christian Academy. The girls are some of the cruelest, most manipulative and disgustingly desperate for male attention that they will do just about anything. The boys are actually in on the whole game too. The clicks are extreme and there's no tolerance for just trying to be a nice person. Like the movie, 'Mean Girls' AND now boys could write a script here. It's like some of the most twisted bullying you would ever imagine. My second biggest regret as a parent was I didn't pull my child out faster. It had a profoundly negative impact on my child who had never until coming to NRCA had any drama at school. Friends and family of ours would comment how evil some of the stories were and that it sounded like '13 Reasons Why' nearly every week our child was there. There are better high school options, just keep looking.
