Trinity Christian School

We absolutely love Trinity! Last year we had our daughter in public school and she came home every day grumpy, upset about something and generally did not like school. She begged us to pick her up as early as possible every day. This year we pick her up every day with a shining smile on her face! She wants to be picked up later and begs to go to after school. I cried tears of joy when I saw her smile on the first day. She even gets upset that she can't go to school on days that she's sick! The teachers and staff are wonderful, caring and available for any questions I may have. Our daughter has grown academically by leaps and bounds and feels encouraged every day by her teachers. We highly recommend Trinity for a good Christian education!

Trinity Christain School stared as a nice actual Chriatian school when I came in 1st grade. Christian values were an actual importance to the school and they continually worked towards that. However ever since they began to expand, they slowly diverted from their original values. Now Trinity “Christian” School cares more about the progress and achievements of their athletics than developing christianity in their students. While these issues may arise with the expansion and quick growth of a school. It certainly doesnt excuse the fact that the school puts almost no effort in combatting the problems. Although TCS have just introduced new students from less “Christian” schools, major problems with TCS have been here for many years. Ever since my years in grade, I began to notice a slippery slope in the quality of Trinity. Espcially since my brother, who attended several years ago, spoke numerous times about the double standerds, drugs, and racism of the school. An example being his experience with racism. He constantly got called racist slur and eventually his friend, who happened to be a black girl, caused him to negatively respond. Due to this type of issue always happening, which the school again did nothing to stop it, he returned with a racial slur. While his actions are not excused, he recieved a large punishment while the girl had no punishment. This is just one of the numerous occasions of an un christain like action that went unpunished or was held at a double standard. Trinity also has a problem by accepting every student, and actively recruiting athletes to the school. Kids are expelled every single year for various reasons, and this is partially due to accepting every student, regardless of how bad of a background the student has at their previous school. The new recruits have turned the school into a party enviroment, where rumors of their hard partying, alcohol, and sex are overlooked by the administration in the name of winning in athletics. Another massive issue with the school is their vaping, weed, alchohol, and other illegal related products. Although they have been attempting to “fix” these problems. Their attempts are basically a joke. The students blantently vape and openly speak about their numerous they hold. Numerous students have been caught vaping, but the punishment has been the equivalent of a slap on the wrist, such as getting detention for one morning after getting exposed. For athletes however, there is no punishment for these actions, as a group of athletes were caught vaping, but there were no consequences for their actions. The problem extends to the middle school as well, as kids selling vapes have become a problem. Ive been attending TCS for over 12 years and Ive seen Trinity come from an actual Christian school to fake school filled with hypocrites of administators. I would actually recommend going to a public school other than TCS because at least there they dont lie and simply put a Christain lable over their ungodly school.

I want to start by saying that I think there are good things about this school, but that it depends on what you are looking for in a private school. I think in many ways this is a case of getting what you pay for. If you are looking for a private school and/or a Christian school it is a fair choice. If your main goal is to get out of the public school system, and you cannot afford other options it is a fair choice. It all depends on what your goals are in seeking out private education. If your goal is to go to an academic school that will challenge and prepare your kids then this is probably not the best fit. They have a few very good teachers, and the teachers absolutely care about the students for the most part. However, they also have many weaker teachers and teachers who are overwhelmed by both the workload and the types of students they admit. Students in honors and AP get heavy priority in most cases, and the general classes are mostly the same or worse than public schools I have seen or had children attend. I know that the ethos of their general education classes is that no one should be allowed to fail, and if students are failing the class should be made easier (even if you have high school students who can barely read and write). The school has one of the largest gulfs between top performing students and general students of any school we have ever been involved with in any capacity (we have moved a lot for work). That being said it does not mean that your child will not succeed after Trinity, but I feel like the idea of the high academic of achievement of the students is a bit misleading when it is sold to new families. I think they really do care about the kids, but because they accept basically anybody in order to keep their numbers high there are wide gulfs within the school academically. This issue also spills over into discipline. Because of their acceptance of any student (admirable in one respect) they are left with a very public school like atmosphere when it comes to discipline. While I am loath to directly criticize any one at the school because they mean well, the fact exists that they lack clear direction and follow through when it comes to rules and enforcement (in the high school at least). In many ways Trinity best resembles a public Christian school. They are very like a public school in their academics, the divisions and the issues with discipline, but they do have a strong Christian core of teachers and other leadership in that regard. So, again, my review comes down to what you are looking for in your child's' school. For my family it did not work, but for others I am sure it is a good fit. That being said I felt that sharing my experience might help save people some the issues we had to learn later than we would have liked.

I couldn't ask for a better school for my girls. All of the staff is committed and devoted to helping the students. TCS is truly a blessing.
