I had a child in PreK - 3 this school year. I cannot say enough good things about this school.

She will definately be returning the Calvary Baptist School next year. Read less

The school is ok on the quality of their academic programs. The biggest problem with Calvary is that they allow problem children from other schools enroll in their school. That creates an enormous amount of problems which the school chooses to ignore. As a parent I have heard middle school children use
