School Reviews

5  
Had sent our child to Clays Mill Road Christian Academy, after have a bad experience another academy. CMRCA enabled our child to excell academically, physically, and spiritually. His previous school had kept him behind on all these fronts, and had a bullying issue. Since attending CMRCA, we have not experienced any bullying issue, because the staff here resolve issues immediately and care about the students personally. I highly recommend this school to anyone. Our child is looking forward to the new property recently purchased and the new school and playground being built.
