Loma linda academy Reviews

If I could give 0 stars I would. How Loma Linda Academy handled this student exposure policy situation that took place on 9/16/21 was completely unacceptable. Starting off, the method used for contact tracing was inaccurate and was completely disorganized. Some students that were in contact with the infected student were not notified that they could have been exposed earlier in the day. Second of all, the people in charge did not know their own policy to those unvaccinated students. Not only was this mistake threatening to the safety of all the students involved. Parents of unvaccinated exposed children were called to pick up their child as soon as possible and told to quarantine for 10 days but later within that day, they were informed to bring their child back to resume classes in person. Despite the students being able to continue on campus learning, they are not allowed to go to any extra curricular events such as outdoor events including sports, beach day, etc which is illogical because at school they would be in an enclosed space in a room filled with many students. For the amount that is paid for students to attend Loma Linda Academy, how this contact tracing of a positive covid case was handled is outrageous.

This place has bad teachers. They wrongfully accuse kids of cheating and threaten to expel them. Some teachers are splendid. but overall my opinion has gone down about them they arent at all what they advertise.

As a student from this academy, I had no issues with the community during my last two years. This review will be covering my first hand experience with some of the instructors I found to have issues with that must be made known to any parent(s) considering sending their children to this school. The teachers will not be named in order to maintain professionalism.

Within the English Department, there lies an instructor that I felt had left me with nothing learned. We read books and took quizzes/tests
like every other class, but their method of teaching was too indirect. They sometimes did little to announce new assignments and their due dates, making their class feel like a big struggle. However, I credit them for their impressive level of abstract. I simply suggest that they reproach how they cover content and have a change in their attitude that can be seen as discouraging to students. They would make a fine teacher if they decided to become more considerate, understanding, and patient.

One of the instructors from Team Act, the physical education class, had an attitude that made many of my former classmates feel VERY uncomfortable. In honest words, it would feel as if they were actually hitting on us girls with the words used by them. Having said phrases in class that sound inappropriate for a student/teacher relationship, the conduct of such instructor should be reexamined. Not to mention, it would seem that the instructors took greater interest or bias in students that had an athletic background, which personally made me feel uninvolved and less of a priority.

Despite having these issues, the community is a pretty safe environment and the rest of the departments are performing their jobs with excellence and professionalism.

This review will be revisited the moment that I am notified from the administration that they have begun to take action towards what is addressed above. Until then, everything stated could be a big problem for incoming students and those responsible for them.

For a school that claims to be Christ-centered, I did not feel the presence of Christ in the majority of the staff and students. Elementary was a wonderful experience, but junior high and high school were a complete turn around. Students typically came from rich backgrounds allowing greater ease to drugs and partying. Bullying was extremely common due to the hierarchy classmates created among one another. Faculty had favorites and excluded students who weren t popular. Tuition just continued to rise to the point where it s almost like paying for a child s college education, which is ridiculous because, compared to public school (also known as free education), there is very limited AP/honor classes, extracurriculars, and opportunities for students to stand out while applying for colleges. I m very disappointed to have wasted so much time, energy, and money into this school. So much work needs to be done to navigate the detrimental issues that affect the well-being of students.

Pretty good school but there is quite a number of cliques and people feel left out sometimes (especially introverted types). So I'd suggest working on that by really encouraging students to work on trying to make everyone feel included. Great diversity, athletics, safety and academics (for the most part) though!

Loved this school! great principal and teachers! We moved out of the area and that is the only reason we are not still there. The new Christian school my boys attend didn't come close to how well this school was run! Front office is also so organized and helpful! Really miss being there!

The management office staff of this school are really rude, they don t care parents, once they admit the student, they are not willing to assist parent. The tuition is low because of seven day Adventist school, they upset me in several occasions in the office or over the phone, in which they dont have patience to explain tuition statement and uniform purchase, etc. they should train their staff to be polite especially to the parent who pay Money to the school which the staff receive paycheck from.
i wish google have 0 star i can choose from because of them.

Really impressed with how Loma Linda Academy responded to needs when the COVID-19 pandemic first hit. In April, the academy repurposed their classroom 3-D printers to print masks and other supplies for medical workers and others. They initially produced over 130 face shields for those who needed them. They normally use the printers in their STEM and Maker Space classrooms, and these printers were used around the clock to build essential supplies for front-line medical workers and others.
