I sent my two children to this school and they hated it and so did I. The teachers and staff had absolutely no experience and were most definitely not friendly to newcomers. My children felt left out because we don't attend church there and were treated differently from children who did attend church there. I would never recommend it to anyone.

My son is a new student at Calvary Christian school, and we both love it. Unfortunatelly we have the experience of this being his fourth school, so we have what to comapare it to. Everyone is on the same page, everyone (students, parents and staff) are putting God first and then all else follows. If you are looking for a God centered education this is the place. The education is challenging....and the teachers I came across are awesome. Hope this helps.

My sons just started the school year at CCS. I must say I love it and most importantly they love it! Everyone here is a family. The education is challenging. Family is key here.

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.
