Both of my children attend the preschool at Chico Oaks. The teachers and the program are wonderful. We are very happy with the life lessons they learn as well as the early education they are receiving.

Chico Oaks is the best! My daughter has attended preschool through third grade here, and will continue on through eighth grade. If you are looking for a school that not only excels in academics, but also spirituality, this is the place for you!

My daughter started out in the preschool and now is in Kindergarden. We are in small classes and the teachers and other parents are like family. We will be staying through 8th grade.

Chico's best secret! A small Christian school with a big family feeling. Great student teacher ratio makes individualized learning plans possible. While high academics are achieved, life's more important goals are emphasized: God and character. Hands-on learning and real life experience are used to educate. Inovative learning experiences abound!

Community ratings and reviews do not represent the views of GreatSchools nor does GreatSchools check their accuracy or verify the reviewers' identities. Use your discretion when evaluating these reviews.

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.
