The staff…read moretruly lives out the mission of the school by being solid Christian examples to the students. They always take the time to invest in my kids' faith walk, pray with them, guide and coach them, and love them! They truly are like family, and they truly reflect Jesus. The curriculum is robust- my kids are challenged yet they're not buried in hours of homework, which I very much appreciate. The class sizes are always small (which is rare these days!) with plenty of support staff to pour into the students as well. We've loved all the extra-curricular activities from sports to music to theater. There are always new options available, and it's been really fun and fulfilling for us. Lastly, the community is wonderful. The school does a great job creating and promoting a really sweet culture. There are so many events and opportunities to get to be a part of the community. We've met incredible friends, kids and adults alike, that have become second families. I love this place. Look no further for a Christian Education for your kids!

It's clear they take the responsibility of providing a quality Christ-focused education very seriously. Not just in high scoring academics, but in shaping and nurturing the character of young people. These kids are very blessed to have this school that cares so deeply for their lives. The results show in the students! As I was waiting in the hall for a couple minutes, a couple 12 year old kids introduced themselves to me on their own initiative, and we carried on a mature conversation. I really believe in what this school is doing, and am so glad for every child that has the opportunity to attend here!

Our family started the application process for our son to enter Arma Dei Collaborative kindergarten…read more(Fall/2026) in October of 2025. We met all the criteria they had listed. We went through their very lengthy application process including having to pay for an application fee and $165 for student testing fee. I took my son to the testing. The staff said I had to wait outside the room during his testing and they would privately test my son. After the test, I asked how everything went and what was done during the test. They refused to tell me any details following the test (which was a bit uncomfortable), but told me it would be discussed during our family interview. Again, at the family interview they did not discuss my son's testing...My son is entering kindergarten and is reading at a first grade level. His preschool teachers regularly tell me he is ahead academically. I wasn't concerned about his performance but I do like to know what was discussed with my child and how he did. A day before May 1st, we finally received an answer regarding his admission. He was not accepted there was zero explanation for their decision. Just a short e-mail saying your not accepted, our policy is to not give any reasoning behind our decision, thanks for your time and money. The application was long, drawn out, lacked transparency about what testing your child is being given... and then their answer came at nearly the end of the school year. It is now very late for us to start looking into other programs as many of them are already filled. I called again to see if I could have the results of the testing we paid for but they never returned my call. Ultimately, we know it is best that he was not admitted. We do not want our child in a program that is not transparent with us as parents. It is just very frustrating to have waisted so much time, money and effort to apply. You may match all the criteria they have listed and they will gladly allow you to put in all the effort with zero intention of admitting your child or valuing your family.

I'm writing this review as a parent whose children attended Northridge Elementary School, and I…read morefeel compelled to share the deeply troubling experiences we endured over the years. My oldest son attended Northridge from 2nd through 6th grade, and his time there was marked by repeated incidents of bullying and racial discrimination. He was physically assaulted multiple times--on the school bus, in the hallways, and during recess. One of the most horrifying incidents involved another student beating him with my son's own 40oz Yeti bottle while hurling racial slurs. This was caught on camera and reported, yet the school failed to take meaningful action. Even during his final days at Northridge, the trauma continued. In May 2023, after receiving his yearbook, a student wrote the N-word in it. When I brought this to the principal's attention the last few weeks of school. On graduation day, I was told they were "sorry" but couldn't do anything because it was the end of the school year. That response was not only dismissive, it was unacceptable. Sadly, my younger child, who was in kindergarten that same year, also faced bullying. He was physically hurt when another student slammed his hand in the front door and was repeatedly cursed at and harassed during class, lunchtime and recess. Staff members were often disengaged, more focused on their phones than supervising the children. Again, the school failed to act, offering excuses and false claims that police had been involved, but none of which were true. Throughout our time at Northridge, incidents were brushed aside, and no real consequences were ever enforced. The emotional toll on my children has been significant, and the school's failure to protect them or take responsibility is beyond disappointing. I have other children, and I will never enroll them at Northridge. No family should have to endure what we did. Shame on this school for its negligence and lack of compassion.

Platte River Academy used to be an incredible school that we truly loved. Unfortunately, that…read morechanged in 2024 when a new principal was hired. Since then, the environment and leadership have shifted dramatically -- and not for the better. Our daughter was bullied for most of her 4th-grade year. Despite multiple reports, the principal seemed more concerned with minimizing the issue than addressing it. The Governing Board and principal even told us that our daughter "was not bullied enough for it to be an issue." I wasn't aware there was such a thing as "enough" bullying, especially at a school that claims to have a zero-tolerance policy. No real investigation was ever opened, and the student responsible was never spoken to. The administration excused the behavior by saying the other child "was having a rough time in life" -- as if that justified the pain and fear my daughter experienced. As parents, it's heartbreaking to see our daughter go from loving school to dreading it every day because she no longer felt safe or supported by the adults who are supposed to protect her.
