    What a great campus to learn and play your sport. My sons baseball team.played a double header on this campus. The campus and facilities appear squeaky clean. I talked to a parent who's son is a freshman and loves the experience so far. The stadium is named after Oral Hershiser. Oral pitched 18 seasons in the MLB most notably with the Los Angeles Dodgers.

    This school has the most unorganized dismissal ever. It takes 2 hours to pick up your child…read more Terrible organization

    Five stars for this five star school!…read more This past week was the first week of classes for kids in Orange County, FL, and I have to say that so far I am impressed with my daughter's new school. It is a A grade, five star school (there's posters EVERYWHERE telling you so) and the teachers and staff are all really great so far. The Good: Caring Teachers and Staff: Even before we registered, the staff here went above and beyond to make my daughter's transfer here a smooth transition. There were a few speedbumps, including a rather unique school records issue, but we got it all worked out and they were able to get my daughter registered and in a classroom just in time. My daughter's teacher is a very nice lady who is a very strong communicator, and caters to my daughter's specific needs. She even lets her read to the class! Easy to navigate: One of my biggest issues with my daughter's old school was that the hallways were like a labyrinth and the place was pretty hard to get around. Hunter's Creek elementary is ridiculously easy to get around, and pluss it's all outside. Yay for sunshine! The Bad: N/a Of course the school year just started, and it takes more than a week to fully appreciate a new school. But our experience so far has been great, and in my book first impressions count for a lot! Overall 10/10= Hunter's Creek Happiness

    We looked at several private schools with middle school programs. After touring we felt very much…read moreat home with staff at Pine Castle. My daughter is in grade 7 and has had a great experience. She loves school again, is finding success academically and socially and goes on and on each evening about the teachers. Remember when your child came home from kindergarten and spoke incessantly about the teacher? It's that kind of joy! I did speak with a friend after the tour who is pretty involved in the private Christian school market and they recommended PCCA to us, too. Feel free to reach out to me. PCCA has become our home and I hope it will become yours too.

    Coming from an unbiased student's opinion, please save yourself the hassle of going through this…read moreschool. At my last school, which I had gone to for three years, I had only one problem the whole time I was there. At PCCA, which I have been going to for not even a year, I've had over five personal ones, and counting. Both general and personal problems include poor teaching curriculums, poor classroom and time organization, little to no arts, nor sports, very few clubs if any, messed up schedules, horrible staff communication, greediness, problems with non-Christian students, and trust me, this list goes on. This whole school honestly feels fake, both spiritually and academically. I am a student that has been in advanced classes for multiple years, passing all of them, and suddenly I feel like I'm being pulled back with poor teaching and environment. The money problems are also super clear. Only two toilets out of 8-10 in the whole North building flush correctly, easy fix to just call someone in. No, let's spend money on TVs and kiosks for digital passes. The staff are also super unprofessional and organized. My dad sent two emails to the headmaster, never got a response, multiple dates and times for events have been moved/messed up, the principal for secondary looks at people crazy when she has to actually do her job instead of just sitting around gossiping all day, my schedule was messed up for almost a month, and updates are almost never communicated properly or are last minute. It's not even just me who has had problems with this school in my family, I had a cousin whose mom pulled him out because he would come home crying every day from bullying, I have another cousin whose mom is constantly complaining about organization, and have another cousin who left the school due to complaints about the teaching. Doing research about this school, it once actually was decent, which is where all the "top school" reviews come from. The arts program had actual theater, there was a wider range of electives, classes like Spanish actually had a classroom with a teacher, and there was a variety of organized sports to play in. This school has clearly fell off, and it might be time to consider if keeping it open is a good idea.
