<Simply an untrue statement. I am not a disgruntled parent, I am a parent dealing with the facts. I have witnessed how far benhind my son was and how hard he has had to work to get caught up. I hope LCA has changed their stance on academics.>
I can assure you that my kids have been there for 7 years and they have done outstanding. Their academics are good and the school is outstanding. As a matter of fact I spoke with a former teacher just yeterday who said they still love the staff at LCA and still think's it's a great school. Believe me everything on here is way overstated by disgruntled parents. But there are many more people with positive experiences there I can assure you.

I have friends whose kids transfered and they were way ahead of their public school peers. They said they did not have a problem at all with transfering and all credits except Bible were accepted.

I absoultly LOVE lancaster. It is a VERY straight foward academic school. I love my teachers and think they are very educated in what they teach. I test very high on my SAT Tests and think I am getting a very good education. Sports are important at LCA but they dont get treated any diffrently than any other student. The thing that seperates lancaster from any other school is the CHRISTIAN ASPECT! THE LANCASTERS AND ANY OTHER TEACHER ARE READY FOR YOU TO TALK TO THEM ABOUT CHRIST. CHRIST IS IN EVERYDAY LESSON PLANS. YOU CANT FIND THAT AT ANY OTHER SCHOOL! I love it there and wouldnt trade it for anything.

<quoted text>This is a current high school student. And ill tell you now, i have been to some of those schools that you mentioned. Some of them girls are not allowed to pray unless there is all girls. But boys are allowed to pray all the time. Is that what Christ is about? At lca, there is a leadership commitee and christian curriculum and everything. ezell harding does not even teach out of a christian book. i love how everything we can do relates to God someway. Im not saying its perfect there, its not. No school is. But its worth while growing up around Christ-Centered people. And im not new to lca either. I have been there over 5 years. I know the difference between public and other private school and lca. Its good if you are willing to be educated in a really Christian place

a PREVIOUS students POV wrote:

i attended LCA for two years. what a terrible two years of my life. my first year, our teacher quit near the end of the school year after many complaints from my class. people chanted "the witch is dead!" aren't teachers supposed to be nurturing and if they leave, students are sad? on previous encounters, during our gym class, we ran a mile around the park, right across from the school. some students were incapable of running that much, and threw up. we were yelled at to keep going. i would understand this if we were on some team, but gym class? very unprofessional. expecially when a regular teacher is teaching a physical education class.
the next year we were moved into a church building. it was fine at first, we knew we were going to be in a new gym by january. how untrue that was. we ate on the floor, because the cafeteria tables were grosser than the floor. we were cramped, and rushed to our next class. no, not because we wanted to be there, but we had to sit on the floor, because desks weren't supplied for everyone. the place was dirty, i've personally seen cockroaches, and ants were there too. A teacher called us good for nothing, account to nothing, and when my mother came in to discuss it, they wouldn't have it. i even recorded this teacher yelling at us, just so i had some proof to tell my mother of these terrible things. he kept us late in class and we had to be silent. tests and quizzes were easy because we all just sat on a couch, discussing our answers, and why we them. our teachers didn't even care. in my second year there, one of my teachers called me out for missing her class so much. i was going to a funeral.
during my second year i was moved up to an advanced class with a few of my other classmates. i got an 87 for my grade in that class. going to a new year school, i was put in the same advanced class, and had to be moved back to a remedial class. currently, i'm failing that too. two important years of my school life was corrupt, and is now affecting my intellect these next years. thanks LCA, for nothing.
