The school is very high quality in academics, athletics, and fine arts. My final two years there was a lot of turnover due to administrative changes. The only thing I would like to see change is the athletic recruiting, how some student were brought in on an unofficial scholarship who did not hold the values of Prestonwood in their character.

A great education, though the workload can be quite a lot at times. They offer a well rounded education with AP, Dual-Credit, Honors, and College Prep Classes. The classes challenge you in a way that prepares you for college, but not too hard. Most teachers are great and form relationships with their students. Their food program Sage is decent. I do wish it was optional and not required in the tuition.

The worst part is the...

If you send your kids here, monitor them well and don’t be afraid to pull them out if they are being mistreated by other kids. The adminis...

Prestonwood Christian Academy left me profoundly disappointed. The school neglected students with depression and other mental health issues, while parents and students fostered an exclusive and judgmental environment. Some teachers engaged in gossip, racism, and inappropriate behavior, creating a to...

We are a new family only in the middle school. I can't speak to elementary or high school. We have had only positive experiences. We have not seen discord, lack of communication or discipline problems. Occasionally my child complains of preferential treatment to some - to that we say great - welcome...
