I love the way the students see a displayed Bible verse as they drive up. Its a great conversation starter for the children as they get out of the car to begin their day. The teachers are friendly and approachable. My grandson is learning so much at SA. I have loved my visits there!!

Outstanding school! I would not want my children to be enrolled anywhere else. The teacher and other faculty are very friendly and welcoming. They also take time to make appointments with parents, in which they answer all questions and/or address any concerns. Christian values are taught, & Critical thinking skills and are in some form applied in each classroom. My children are thriving acedemically and socially. Some believe that private schooling does not leave your child prepared for the real world, and I could not disagree more. The newer state required common core teaching methods in the public school system do not prepare children for academically for college where every parent wants the next real world stop to be in their childs life. I highly recommend this school!

Both of my children attended this school and had a wonderful experience. They were prepared for college and beyond. SA has a great teaching staff and administration team. Everyone is welcoming and friendly. Great learning environment!

This school was created as a haven for white students to avoid integration. That's it's reason to exist, and it does it well.

My children have received an excellent and well-rounded education in a safe environment where the teachers, administrators and staff truly care about their success. Recent additions such as an elementary STEM lab, iPad carts for all grades and Surface Pro 3's for Juniors and seniors have greatly enhanced technology and improved academic rigor. Class sizes average 18 students which is ideal in my opinion for optimal learning. I would highly recommend Starkville Academy to anyone that values an independent school education and is considering it as their school of choice.

Certainly not worth the investment in terms of a higher quality education. The appeal of this school appears to be homogenous middle class environment.

Where do I start? Well, first of all SA lacks the time management skill and tries to cram seven classes into one day. The block system would be a godsend to all students attending. Teachers and coaches alike try to get as much done as possible, but with only fifty minutes per class, only so much can be accomplished. What's seems to be their biggest worry is a student on a cell phone. Administration is constantly walking by classrooms for the soul purpose of trying to catch students on their phones. What's more is the fact that the school is in need of repairs in many places, but instead invests more money into the football stadium and field. The school doesn't even financially support the art classes such as band (the roof inside the band hall has many holes in it) or art 1, 2, or 3. With the tuition they're making parents pay, a little money here and there shouldn't be so hard to use towards the art classes. I am a student there (obviously) and almost all of the other students can prove these problems. Most of my friends are either certainly or determining switching to starkville high as it provides the block system, more class options and so on.

When making decisions about education, do not mistake great Websites and prestige for competence! Starkville Academy offers small classes and many opportunities for students to participate in extra-curricular activities. Don't mistake quantity for quality; many of those opportunities lack element of quality. Students may participate, but their experience is limited by lack of leadership from coaches, teachers, and administrators. There have been many instances of inequitable treatment in sports my daughter experienced. Also, I'm aware of different treatment in the classroom depending on who the child is from a social standpoint.

Parents are very supportive of school activities, and the work the teachers do. The board and administration are working to help teachers and students, by implemented new programs, such as dual enrollment in college algebra and Fresh comp. New labs and slide projectors help the students and teachers. Most of the students are hard-working, goal-oriented, and self disciplined. Because the number of students in each class ranges from 15-22, teachers help each student more and know each one well. After attending since kindergarten, my child completed Calculus and Spanish 3. My child will be attending college on full academic and athletic scholarships. He or she had excellent opportunities for leadership in the band, drama, and athletics. The faculty are well-qualified, caring, and hard-working role models. Daily, each class says the pledge, has a devotion, and prayer. The same Christian youth leaders meet monthly with the same class from 7th thru 12th grade. All of our international students are doing well in class and extracurricular activities. Graduates are published authors, recognized scientists, and graduates of Notre Dame law school. Pre-k-12th faculty work together.
