Canyon Rim Elementary School

Our experience with St. Francis of Assisi has been deeply disappointing and distressing. What should have been a nurturing, faith-based environment turned out to be a toxic and unsafe atmosphere; one where fear, favoritism, and manipulation thrive under the guise of religious values.Academically, the school falls far below expectations. There is little focus on genuine educational growth or academic excellence. Instead, energy and resources are spent maintaining a public image that does not reflect the reality students and families face behind closed doors.

Anaheim Hills Montessori School is a Great foundation for little kids and an amazing place for kids to start with their first year learning. Our son has been attending Anaheim Hills Montessori school for 2 years. My husband and I both work and wanted to find a place where our son would be comfortable, learn, socialize, and be cared for while we could not be with them. That is what we have found in Anaheim Hills Montessori. Over the years we've experienced wonderful Christmas programs, elaborate art projects, creative open house themes, Halloween Trick O treats, Thanks giving Party, Field Trips, Parents Day Event and the ultimate success of seeing our child thrive. The class environments are clean, playful and instructional, and the outdoor play area is safe for children to run around, Swings and slide and climb. We LOVE everything about Anaheim hills Montessori!!! The teachers are very nice, welcoming, nurturing and kids always learn somethong new on daily basis. Thanks alot to Ms. Harshini, Ms. Ridima, Ms. Ruksana, Ms. Maggie and other staff members of Anaheim Hills Montessori school..Great teachers

As a parent, I consider myself fortunate to have had my child attend Hillsborough Private School for the past three years. I can honestly say that the overall experience has been quite gratifying. Hillsborough Private School is distinguished as a reputable educational institution, known for providing a strong academic foundation in a supportive community. While there are areas that could be improved, particularly in terms of extracurricular options, diversity, and affordability, it still stands as a commendable choice for my child's education. I wholeheartedly recommend this institution to parents seeking a challenging academic curriculum and a nurturing community for their children.

This review is not about the teachers, who are professional and dedicated, but about the administration’s poor communication, lack of respect, and overall negative environment. The teachers do their best with the kids, but even they seem to struggle under the management’s harsh policies. It’s an unhappy place for both parents and staff. A mistake occurred with my tuition payment, and despite multiple emails requesting a resolution, their responses were unhelpful. They ignored my calls when they saw my number, even though they provide phone contact details, and refused to let me speak with the school owners. It feels like the owners are completely disconnected, hidden in the shadows, unaware of what’s really happening. When I asked to escalate my concerns to them directly, I was flat-out denied. Why is it not okay to talk to the superiors? Parents should have a voice. I also constantly worry that if a teacher is absent, one of the harsh administrators will step in to supervise the class, which is not reassuring. Their approach lacks warmth, and everything is handled in an overly rigid, impersonal manner. After many failed attempts to resolve my concerns, I had no choice but to share my experience here. I truly hope the owners read this and take the time to call me so I can explain all the mistakes and issues firsthand.
