Tree of Life Academy

My 4th grader has been attending Ridgeview since Kindergarten, and has a wonderful experience here. I feel like all of the staff at this school, from his teachers, to office staff to yard duties, etc., really care about him and his progress. Each teacher has given him any support he has needed, in different ways. I'll always be grateful to his 1st grade teacher, who pushed for him to receive more speech/language services. There will always be kids with behavior problems, but generally the kids and parents are great here. I don't know about test scores or any of the other measurables that go into a rating, but our experience at Ridgeview has been phenomenal.

A million A+'s if that's even possible

My kids have attended YCS for 8 years. Hands down the best school around. My older kids attend a christian school in Redlands. Nothing compares to YCS.

Amazing school, amazing teachers and amazing principal. I couldn’t give a better review of this school! The clubs, Friday families, the communication, the PTO, TWIOC! It’s all amazing! We are lucky to be able to experience everything the school offers.

I know everyone has different experiences and all, but I feel like my experience at this school wasn't the best. People here are judgmental if you're slightly different from people there; you will be excluded and not well-liked by others (especially when you're neurodivergent). It's not fully the kids' fault; the curriculum and their church environment have judgmental undertones to it. Kids here are also in cliques (this issue is really bad; they are VERY cliquey). Now time for some positive aspects. This school's chapel and Bible curriculum were very good. I would feel very connected to the lord and feel in His presence. At the same time, sometimes some of the chapel sermons felt slightly judgmental; other than that, it was very well done. Next are the teachers. I felt like almost all of the teachers here were great at their job and what they did. They pushed for a Christ-centered education and would give help when you needed it. My all-time favorites were the 2022-23 and 23-24 Math/Science teachers and the History/English teacher. I feel like they were the best at helping me understand certain concepts. This school is very safe; fights obviously don't happen here, and there is a security guard who helps patrol the school, too. Lastly, this school is very family-oriented. They make sure parents are included in the major decision-making things and are encouraged to engage with their child's life. Yes and no, I would recommend this school; it depends on who you are and what you need exactly. I left the school last year, so I don't exactly know what has changed/how much has changed. But then again, a lot could change in a year.
