Community Christian School at 2001 Jodeco Road, Stockbridge, Georgia.

I go to this school here it is awesome.

My daughter attended this school from PK2 (2.5 yrs old) through the 3 grade (8 yrs old) . For years, I was satisfied with the education she was getting from this school, or so I thought she was getting. For the 4th grade I moved my daughter to a school of the arts because I wanted her to experience a different learning curriculum. No biggie we just thought a change would be nice for a year. We decided to go back to CCS and I enrolled her in the early summer before the 5th grade, paid all of the fees associated with registration etc. I was told that she would need to be tested for the 5th grade which didnt seem to be a problem for me either.
I got a call from the school to inform me that my daughter would need to repeat the 4th grade because her "reading comprehension" was below average. I was shocked and appalled to say the least. She was tested at two other schools, and neither school indicated that she was below average in anything, to my surprise she was above average and accepted to both learning institutions.

I asked CCS to please allow her the summer to tutor and freshen her skillset and please at least re test her for placement after the summer. They agreed to a re test however when she tested again they rushed her through the exam and told her she did not have time to complete everything because this was a "re-test".

After short stopping her test, they again insisted that she repeat the 4th grade. I decided that repeating a grade at a school would not be a good idea at a school of her peers since she had been with most of those kids since she was 2. It would have been an emotional setback for her. I also did not agree with them telling me that her alleged "reading comprehension" deficiency was because she did not attend CCS for the 4th grade. The basically blamed it on her 4th grade teacher at her new school. UNBELIEVABLE! I am no teacher but reading comprehension starts way before the 4th grade and she had been at CCS since she was 2. She learned to read at CCS, so I believe if she was deficient it was because of them- they are the ones who taught her to read and should have been paying to her comprehension of what she was reading.

She is enrolled at another Christian private school this year and was placed in the 5th grade as she belongs and is doing exemplary. She is reading at a 6th grade level and doesn't seem to have a problem with the A beka Curriculum that CCS swore to me would be "so hard for her"

Bottom line, CCS was insistent that she repeat the 4th grade as a matter of finance rather than the best interest of the student. I strongly feel that the only way she would be admitted in to the 5th grade at the school is if she completed the 4th grade there, and because I took her out for her 4th grade year they needed to get paid for that year we took off from CCS.

She is happy and excelling at her new Christian school and I am glad I am not paying tuition to this school. They should be ashamed. NOT_SO_CHRISTIAN_LIKE
