I am shocked to read that so many people are impressed with Zion Baptist Academy. Most I see have babies/young toddlers and that may explain why. The 2012 - 2013 school year ended in a disaster! The Board decided to fire the lead PreK teacher 8 days before the end of the school year. Then a week after classes ended she fired all of the other PreK teachers. The Board brought in a new director and sadly no one from the old staff was kept around--not even the cook. At the Bridge to Graduation ceremony, the police were called because of the student's parents was making "terroristic threats." The academics were great here, but the stress of having to leave my child their while at work was unbareable. I guess that I do not like the fact that Zion Baptist Academy is a business, they take your money, but the Board feels no real responsibility to answer any questions. This was quite disappointing. I lost sleep over all the changes, stress and drama and would not recommend this place to anyone. I believe that the academics are decent, but is it worth being stressed? No. I am sure that Zion will continue to have a high turnover rate because of new management.
