About Rotten Apples
Learn more about our mission, values, and the team that drives our commitment to faith-based school ratings.
Our Story
Rotten Apples was birthed after many years within the homeschool, private and public school educational systems. Some of that time was spent looking for and finding a private school which lived out not only their mission statement, but also complemented our families' Biblical values. In that time, we recognized a need for a faith based resource to find schools for families, since much of the information available about schools, was basic statistics, academics, and costs, but very little pertaining to faith and values. From there, a seed was planted and Rotten Apples was born.
