Private Education vs Public Education

A recent poll showed that 1 in 4 parents are considering switching their child(ren) from a traditional large public school environment to a smaller (independent, private, charter, religious) school. Parents feel that smaller schools have a clear academic focus and vision for high quality successful learning.

Many feel that in the public school system, there is a greater gap in achievement between socioeconomic classes, more violence and higher dropout rates, and children can easily get lost in the large, impersonal system.

Upper Room Christian School is a medium sized K-12 Private Christian School located on Long Island, NY. We have been established as a NYS Regent approved school for over 30 years! Our class size is small and we provide a safe academic environment that fosters intellectual growth while emphasizing Character Development.

Grace and Peace,
