"This school has had 3 principals in the last 4 years... nuff said. You have no idea ehat next year willl be like. They have no accountability and the blamegame is played all day. They flat out give Sevent-Day adventist a BAD name and it's a shame. I have removed my kids from this school and I wouldn't send my enemy their. Its sad"

"Takoma Academy is a family oriented school in which the staff is very close because they attend the same church and this is all well and good, but there is a down fall. They don't handle their business. You have to constantly stay after the staff/teachers to get things done concerning grades, etc. and practically stand over them. If you don't, it will never get done. You have to make sure that your child is getting credit for the work they are turning in - I feel as a parent I should not have monitor the teachers and staff to make sure they are doing their job. It is very frustrating dealing with them. To sum it up it is great to have a nice friendly atmosphere but their top priority should be to make sure the business of the students is taken care. They do not handle their business at Takoma Academy."

"If you are looking for a christian school to develop your child's spirituality, look elsewhere. In fact, you will find no benefit in sending your child here. The only program worth anything at this school is the men's basketball program. But all else is not worth the money. I am not sending my child back next year."

"I am a former employee of Takoma Academy. Sadly to say, this school is being led in the wrong direction. The atmosphere of the school has changed for the worst. It definitely appears that the Spirt of God has left the building. I pray that things get better."

"One of the student that attended last year, who I also baby sat when he was younger, now goes to another school. He is much better off at his present school I believe that the current leadership at TA is bringing the school down spiritually."
