Calvary is an awesome school.. I went to this school from K-3rd grade and I can honestly say I still miss it I had so many friends and was accepted and I was really challenged even as a third grader(which for me is a good thing:) I loved everything about this school from it's rigorous curriculum to it's small community feel and if my parents could still pay tuition we'd still be there for sure I now attend Cityside as a 7th grader...

Since we have been at Calvary, we have seen our children grow academically but what excites us the most is the amazing spiritual growth we have seen in our boys. The PowerPlus ministry program is amazing. We love it!

Calvary Baptist is by far the best school I have ever dealt with. If it were not for moving we would still be going there. The parents are encouraged to be involved, the teachers are loving, and the bible study is terrific. I cannot say enough good things about CBS,

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.
