Battalion Christian Academy is a small, faith-based elementary school with an extremely tight-knit community feel. The 9.5:1 ratio means teachers can give genuine individual attention, and the religious affiliation shapes both curriculum and culture.
With only 57 students across all grades, this is a genuinely small community. Every family likely knows most other families, and teachers track each child's progress closely. The trade-off is that the student body is 100% Black — there's no racial diversity in the student population.
