Our daughter started at Vista Christian Pre-School when she was 3. She is now in 3rd grade and she is excelling in every subject. The teachers are excellent, the entire staff is amazing. I highly recommend this school to anyone who wants their child to recieve a well rounded education with a strong emphasis on God.

My children started in Pre-School at VCP and received a stallar start! When we moved, they went to public school and were far ahead of their peers! I would recommend this school in the blink of an eye and wish we could still be there. It is well worth the money!!!!

My child has excelled in VISTA and it is a wise investment in your child's education. The school is small enough that all the students know each other, and yet offers a well rounded educational package.

The principal Mr. Green is very dedicated and hard working. I love the fact that he is out there assisting leading the pledge with the students every morning. The facilities for play are adequate and the teachers are awesome. I have a second and third grader that started this year and have friends whose children have and is there now.

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.

Test scores

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.
