This school is such a blessing to our family - we could not be more happy here. Our child is in second grade this year and he is doing wonderfully here and thriving in his classroom. I am sorry to have to disagree with previous poster - these children are not doing kindergarten level work. They are doing fractions and multiplication in math, phonics, history, and cursive writing. I was surprised that they were learing cursive writing in just second grade! And my child is doing quite well with it, too. We love it here! Would definitely recommend to anyone who is considering this school for their child's education.

This is my child's 5th year at Cornerstone. We have been so blessed to have wonderful teachers. This is his 2nd grade year and more often than not he comes home frustrated because they are doing kindergarten level work. He loves to learn and is not enjoying this year as he has in the past. I have expressed my concerns to the headmaster with no response from him. I plan to send my child back to Cornerstone next year because I know the teacher has a great reputation. I am considering home schooling for the rest of this year. I cannot get out of my financial commitment, but maybe I can alleviate some stress for me and my child since I'm already teaching him the things he's not getting at school AND taking him to school.

My 3 grandchildren are blessed to be at Cornerstone! This is truly a Christian school and the faculty and staff are outstanding. Spiritual leadership and academic excellence in a college prep school where a family atmosphere fosters a superb learning environment.

Two of my children have graduated CCS. One of those has now graduated college and the other is in college. Although I believe my kids would have been successful in life, CCS brought my children to another level through the academic, spiritual and social development that they nurtured. This is a GREAT place to educate your children!

I am a Cornerstone Alumni. Looking back on my days at CCS, I have nothing but positive things to say about school there. Not only was the education I recieved there excellent, the learning atmosphere and the Godly invironment helped me to strenghen my knowledge of the Bible and my relationship with Christ. The people at Cornerstone not only care about your mental growth, they care about your spiritual growth as well. The acedemic programs I was involved in were active in the community. The art program (Led by the amazing Mrs. Evanachko) was fantastic. Many extra-curricular activities are available there. The parents there are very involved in the class, and everyone does their share to make it a wonderful community. I wouldn't trade my days spent there for the world.

My child came to Cornerstone Christian School in K-5 and is now in the 6th grade. We LOVE Cornerstone. It has helped my child grow closer to God and she asked Christ in her heart when she was in the 3rd grade. The teachers, staff and headmaster are not afraid to talk openly about God and what he has done in their lives and they CARE about the students. My child has also maintaned A B Honor Roll since K-5 and she is now old enough to play sports for the school. She loves her coaches and knows that they are always there for her no matter what.(they pray with these kids before,during and after EACH practice and game.) What more could you want for your child!!!! As far as parent involvement, they love for parents to help out in any way possible.

Cornerstone is a great school. My child has been going here since the school first opened up, she started in k4. I have never had any problems with my child's teachers or anything else that has to do with school.

Great school! We had two kids in my daughters graduating class that made a 34 on their ACT and one of those was a National Merit Scholar. Christian teachers, academics and a growing competitive athletic program that NEVER cuss my child.

My daughter has attended Cornerstone since K4 and is in second now. I can't say enough about the staff at Cornerstone and their concern for the spiritual welfare of the students and their academic education. Once you put your child here, they will never want to leave! Go Chargers!

About these ratings

The Community Rating is the school’s average rating from its community members (e.g., parents, students, and school staff). The highest possible rating is five stars; the lowest is one star.

We currently do not have any test score information for this school. Unlike public schools, private schools are not always required to report data about their schools or not required to take the same tests as public schools. Many private schools take different standardized tests; however, that information is often made available only to families of enrolled students. We strive to acquire additional private school data whenever available.
