The teachers are very, very respectful and caring in a sense but when it comes to certain teachers and staff members they could care less about what UR GOING THROUGH! and let's really talk about this how come anytime a person's in trouble. The staff likes to flip the situation on them whole time it's that person getting bullied?? they don't even try to stop it and I can't even wear shorts which is crazy work because it's Vegas and it's 100° outside every day! weird right? so that's why I'm saying with full confidence. If you send your kid there you're a disgrace.

White lady yells at ME (a person of COLOR) for making an honest mistake while the white boy who does the same mistake I did doesn't even get an attitude. And then proceeds to go yell at another person of color for doing the same mistake. And why is it that a bunch of kids that were late because of their bus getting them to school late still have to face the consequences even tho it was not their fault that their bus driver decided "oh hey let me take my sweet time taking these high schoolers to their insanely strict and unfair highschool!" I'd love to say that this school is everything that I hoped for it to be But alot of the students here also notice that the staff here just treat the students like they don't even matter...? I mean even the reviews here are complaining that this school isn't even all that!! And the thing is the staff are constantly saying "stick to the rules!" And "we care alot about bullying" but when it's a staff suddenly those rules don't apply to them? Why is it that us younger folks have to deal with adults nonsense just because they're older than us? No student can do anything about it either because they do not make it a safe environment where they can express their feelings/opinions! This is extremely irritating and this should be talked about! I have never in my life been treated this badly in a school before! And Ccsd schools usually treat their students like the dirt on their shoes! Shows how bad Ccsd schools really are!

I had a lot of credits and honor credits from Florida so I had the opportunity to graduate very very early than anticipated and also got my advanced diploma! The teachers were always there to assist students. The environment was a good one as well, Not around many bad influences and such like you are in regular public school.

I really don't appreciate the fact that they don't know how to communicate. I enrolled my son and…read morethey told me I needed to wait for my appointment, which was in the beginning of September. CCSD starts in August, so I waited all the way until September for my appinment that they said they had him scheduled for and they never called. So, I called them and they said he never had an appointment set and that he wasn't approved to attend the school because he wasn't far enough behind. So, now I have to put him back at CCSD, and he's a whole month late. Now, he's really going to be behind. Thank you so much for nothing, Beacon! Just another schol that doesn't communicate, which can cause your child to fail!

I prob met one respectful lady out of the whole carpool employees it's so ridiculous how they act I don't dee how the behavior is acceptable to come at parents the way they do and to rush a kid in a sec and get mad is ridiculous I mean if my kid trips and fall on the pavment that would not be a good look for the school because of the way they rush our kids

My three sons attend Awaken Christian Academy, and they absolutely love it! As a mom, finding a…read moreschool where my children feel loved, supported, and encouraged is extremely important to me, and I truly believe Awaken has been a blessing to our family. I also want to recognize Ms. Lehman for the amazing job she does as principal. Her leadership, dedication, and heart for the students and staff are easy to see. I believe God has great things planned for this school and its future. Of course, no school is perfect, and every school has areas where it can continue to grow. What stands out to me at Awaken is the heart of the staff. I believe the teachers and staff genuinely care about their students and desire to keep God at the center of what they do. That means so much to our family. I am grateful that my sons are not only receiving an education but are also being encouraged in their faith, character, and relationships with others. As a parent, knowing that my children are surrounded by people who care about them and want to see them succeed gives me peace. I truly believe Awaken Christian Academy has a bright future, and I am excited to see all that God will continue to do through this school. We are blessed to be part of the Awaken family!

This school is not what it used to be. Over the last several years, programs and athletics have…read moresteadily declined while leadership priorities seem increasingly disconnected from what families are paying for. One major concern is that the school often relies on parent volunteers instead of hiring experienced, qualified coaches and staff, while at the same time cutting programs and resources for students. It's frustrating watching tuition costs remain high while equipment, opportunities, and overall program quality continue to suffer. The increasing church influence has also significantly changed the atmosphere of the school. Many families, myself included, have questioned the decision to place so much authority and financial responsibility in the hands of individuals like Fred, whose background and past business dealings have raised concerns within the community. What was especially upsetting was the abrupt closure of the high school, which left many parents scrambling to figure out where to place their children with very little notice or support. Shortly afterward, the church immediately took over the former high school classrooms, which only reinforced what many families had already been fearing -- that the long-term priority was shifting away from education and toward church expansion onto the school property. At the same time, several critical administrative positions have either been eliminated or consolidated, placing even more pressure and responsibility on the few staff members still trying to hold everything together. Morale appears low, turnover has increased, and the overall structure feels increasingly unstable. Many parents stayed because they believed the promises being made, but over time the disconnect between those promises and reality became difficult to ignore. Sadly, the focus no longer seems to be centered on the students, and the school now feels like a system barely holding itself together.

They seem focused only on activities that benefit the school's ratings or attendance, yet they don't even hold a commencement or recognition ceremony for students moving on to high school. When you raise concerns, they often deflect blame onto CCSD, even though many other middle schools in the district do hold ceremonies to honor their students and celebrate their achievements. Just disorganized and poor leadership! Additionally, if your child has any absences, the school may escalate by contacting the school police to your home for missing absence notes, rather than simply reaching out to discuss the situation directly. Overall, this has been a very disappointing experience. I wish I had known more before enrolling my child here.

Very focused on sports such as football and has a good selection of clubs such as ski club. On top of that the course selection of classes is pretty good with Dual Enrollment and Ap classes. However, there is a heavy influence on substances such as weed and nicotine throughout the school and it is very common to go into the bathrooms and find that. There are some teachers here who shine and actually care about that job such as Ms Fick, and Ms Beckham to name a few.

This school is by far one of the worst schools I have experienced, especially because…read moreadministration is fully aware of the conduct and ongoing complaints regarding certain teachers, including the geometry teacher, Mrs. Escala ("Pinky"), yet nothing has been done. Because of this teacher, my son is now being told he cannot participate in graduation over a 0.5 credit issue that honestly feels personal at this point. What makes it even more concerning is that I have two children at this school, and both have experienced the same problems with this teacher. Is that just a coincidence? Las Vegas already struggles with the level of education being provided, and having teachers who take away a student's opportunity to walk at graduation something every teenager dreams about is truly disappointing and shameful. Parents should be very careful and stay involved, because from my experience, this school does not genuinely care about the students' future or success.

Let me describe how your experience might go if you are a good students. For the first week you will get to know the teachers, the school, the rules, the principles of pride, and about the consequences in general as a school and as a single classroom. And then you will have a lot of student surveys from different teachers so they get to know everything about you. The teachers you will have if you had a good grade on SBAC from fifth grade are Mrs. Deering she is an advanced class English teacher, Mrs Jefferson advanced science teacher, Mr Wilson advanced math teacher, and last but not least is Mrs Russel and advanced reading teacher. The school has this SSO( Students success office). They are the last place you want to get a consequence from. They will give you a presentation about the school expectations. You have to follow each and every rule they said you have to follow or you will get the consequences that you don't want to have. In general if you follow and obey the school rules you will have the best 3 years of your life with your friends and teachers

We tried going to the "Register Athlete" line but it was really long, just to verify that he was indeed registered; we took care of it on the last week of last school year. We tried finding his Counselor, but learned that he was assisting in another section. But we ran into Mr. Frieberg, who said he could help us with his Elective switch. THANK YOU to Mr. Frieberg.
