I'm looking for reviews regarding this school. NOT DALLAS CHRISTIAN SCHOOL

I am not finding much on the web and would love to get some parent or former student feedback. I am thinking of sending my kids there for middle schools.


Any opinions? Good or Bad!

Are you a Seventh Day Adventist? As my wife and I began our private school search I was told (warning, completely anecdotal) that in Dallas you basically shouldn't send your kids to a religious school unless you observe that religion. Exceptions, most Catholic schools, and Parish or ESD (at least among the ones that most people have heard of). I tend to think this is true in a lot of places, but it was advice given to me by longtime residents of Preston Hollow who had navigated private school scene about 5 years ago.

I am not Seventh Day Adventist but I am a Christian. I will definitely take a beat and look into the full seventh-day believes. I've actually know a few SDA and never felt that basic believe system was much different. Did you know anyone that sent their kids there?

I haven't either. So I googled, as suggested by another poster who was being snarky. It exists, but looking around their site and doing other searches I can't figure out if it is accredited. Don't get me wrong, I believe there are all sorts of schools, private or public, that can be great matches for all sorts of students. But I'm somewhat familiar with even the smallest private schools in Dallas and this is the first time I've ever heard of this one. Some sort of accreditation would be helpful. Not a lot of info about DCA.

This is the only accreditation that I see:
Dallas Christian Academy is accredited by the Accrediting Association of Seventh-day Adventist Schools,


I am sure that is a legitimate organization but most of the other private schools are accredited by other more recognized organizations. Any idea how big the school is? The website shows that they have high school sports (vb, basketball, soccer) but I am wondering if they are full teams. It seems if the school was larger, someone on this board would have heard about it before, especially as being an "inner city" option.

If our extremely knowledgeable poster TC80 hasn't heard of it, IMO it isn't worth hearing about.
