Don't even get me started on what I would do to change my former High School. Thankfully, I wouldn't have to because my school closed down the High School this year. Lighthouse Christian Academy is probably the worst private school in Montgomery. The people in the office were so rude and would always gossip about the students, and the Principal was never fair. I couldn't stand him. His breath always stunk and smelled like nasty coffee and I always hated when I got stuck talking to him, because he couldn't just stand a respectable distance away from you. He always got right up in your face. He would constantly roam the halls. I don't think he was ever in his office. But him and his wife were always in feuds with each other, and since she works in the office right next to his, I guess he wanted to get away from her. My principal would seriously try to get you in trouble for anything. I know there are rules at schools, but it seemed to be like he just made up his own rules as he went.
As far as the teachers go, I'm not really sure that you could call them teachers. They never gave us any work, and if they did, they practically gave us the answers because everybody would complain until the teacher gave in. And most tests were open-book tests. The only class we even did a little of any work in was English and Typing. But who needs typing. Most of our days consisted of joking around and messing around on our cell phones.
I really regret going to LCA for the 7 years that I did. The first 2 years were decent, only because the vice principal kept everything in order. He was the one that was mainly in charge of the high school, but he and his wife who also worked at the school moved to TN, because he got a good job to preach at a church there.
Going to LCA really screwed me over when it was time for me to take my ACT. Most schools are supposed to prepare you for the ACT and for college...but not mine. My ACT scores were definitely not impressive (a 20, and a 21). I did not make it into Auburn like I had hoped.
All my high school cared about was getting the tuition check. They could've cared less about anything else. I am so glad that they finally shut the high school down. It's like after the vice principal left, the high school just fell by the wayside, and all they were concerned about were the lower grades. My principal is mainly in charge of the lower grades, so that's where the school put their main focus. I mean my senior year was so lame. For Junior/Senior day, they tried to make us go to a church and then go on a trolley ride downtown. As if we didn't already go to chapel EVERY Wednesday. Seriously, who wants to go to a church on Senior day. And for senior trip, which I did not go on either, they sent the seniors to a christian camp in North Carolina. I thought it was going to be so boring, but my classmates said it wasn't that bad.
There are sooo many other things that my school has done, but I would be here all day.Im glad that no other people will have to suffer high school at LCA. If the HS part was still open, I swore I would've done my best to warn anybody hoping to send their child there that it would be the worst mistake they'll make, school-wise.
