Incompetent teachers. Bullying. The after-school daycare was awesome though.
Posted by a community member on 11/23/2025I am a parents of 4 young children and currently have 3 attending Los Coyotes. I will say, hands down, this is an exceptional public school. Not only is the school ranked second elementary school in OC (based on test scores), it cultivates the whole well-being of the child (character, kindness, resp
Posted by a parent on 11/2/2021If parents are complaining and whining about the issues at this school, it is because these parents are babying and siding with their kids because they think their kids are angels and can do no wrong... The staff at the school works with all the kids in making sure there is no bullying or issues and
Posted by a community member on 5/3/2017The experience has been a trip and I would rate it as neutral because of the great families that attend and are involved, but also unsatisfactory as to what the school itself has to offer and how it handles issues. We have been in this school a while and it has been interesting to hear our children’
Posted by a parent on 3/3/2017Teachers get stuck on very silly things. They want students to say what they want to hear. The principal has an attitude. Teachers never admit they were wrong even when it is obvious. The principal backs up the teacher. When she knows they are wrong she avoids meeting the parents. She will refuse to

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageOur son attended the Early Preschool program at La Palma Christian Center from age 2 until he started kindergarten, and we couldn’t have asked for a better start to his school journey. From the very beginning, Ms. Zsalene (the preschool director) set the tone with her warm, welcoming, and confident presence. She has a gift for making both children and parents feel instantly at ease, and from day one we felt our son was in the best hands.The teachers here are truly extraordinary. Ms. Maria, his very first teacher, lovingly guided him through those early years, made the classroom feel like home. Ms. Bobbie, his second teacher, filled his days with creativity and structure; we still hang many of the art and craft project. Ms. Perez, his TK teacher, gave him the perfect transition into kindergarten. Her warmth, listening ear, and thoughtful feedback prepared him both academically and socially for kindergarten. And behind the scenes, Pastor Karen has built something lasting — a program and church community that provides families with love, care, and a strong foundation. We will always feel at home at La PalmaThe learning environment is just as wonderful as the people. In the early days, we watched Max’s natural patience, kindness, and ability to share flourish in play with his peers. As he grew, daily worksheets introduced him to letters, numbers, and early writing, while endless art and craft projects became keepsakes of his growth. Each age group has its own classroom, but shared playtime with other ages inspired him to reach new milestones, always in a positive way. He came home with respectful manners, kind language, and joyful friendships that reflected the environment here.And then there are the memories! So many special events that made his childhood magical: visits from firefighters and police officers, a reptile show, jumper days, scooter days, Trunk-or-Treat, the BEST Easter egg hunt, parent dances, birthday celebrations, preschool graduation, and of course, Water Day every summer Friday. Every season and holiday was celebrated in a way that made childhood feel joyful and meaningful.Parent Review8mo ago - Calvary Chapel Christian School Of Cypre
