GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I don't have enough words. I was a PCCA student since 3rd grade, and I left right before my freshman year of high school. PCCA student and parent culture is very right-wing; if you don't agree with those opinions and ideals, you're going to have a hard time at that school. Along with that, teachers show their political biases, which, in my opinion, shouldn't be shown to influential kids.I have heard from friends that there are creeps at the school, ranging from seniors and juniors hitting on middle school students to some of the boys looking up girls skirts and trying to sexually assault them. Other than the horrible student life, the classes are actually pretty good, especially the literature aspect. They had me read Shakespeare in 5th grade, and they challenge their students academically. If you don't mind the horrible student life and only care about academics, then sure, PCCA might be an okay choice, but there are much better schools out there for your kid.

While the work load is huge and the rules sometimes border on ridiculous, the teachers are great. The school gives you more access to participate in different activities you are interested in. any clubs that they do not have that you want to do you can make your own. Overall if you participate in school activities and do not let the pressure get to you it is fun.

My two kids thrive at PCCA Palm Bay Campus. I have one in elementary and one in the Jr/Sr high. I love their curriculum, extracurricular activities and how they involve the families to make the school feel like a community. One of my children is disabled and being a military family that has been to...

They got me fired from my job because I had a deadline to make for my job and would not dismiss my daughter. They basically held us hostage and got me fired because of their “ policy”. The staff is terribly snide and I don’t want me kid going here. What a joke of a school.

Terrible and petty school. They'll use the excuse of displaying unsafe behaviors that seems to be the buzz word the school uses to kick you out after they say they'll give him 2 weeks. They removed our son to save their metrics when they got the feeling we were removing our son. This school isn't wo...
