Chandler View Elementary School

Awful school my ED son had a horrible year of kindergarten the principal basically ignored us during the whole year when we ask about having a meeting and talk about my sons progress and by the end of the school year the school principal tell my I have to take my son for an evaluation with a privated doctor even tho they have the resources and the specialist to make and evaluation assessment on my son Isn't the law for our kids to have a free equal education no matter there disability or struggles . I wouldnt recommend this school to anyone specialy if u have an ED kid they just seem to push them away instead of help the kids that are real struggling

Having had a child attend this school from mid kindergarten on through the final grade (4) I feel I am in a great position to give a review. Teachers: Top Notch. While the actual school curriculum is limited legally by state mandates (meaning everyone is equal and children who excel in learning capabilities will not be given advanced work outside of those regulations) the teachers themselves are all very good at their jobs. All seem highly competent, have a true enthusiasm for working with children from all sorts of backgrounds, have patience, and truly want the best from their students. The feedback from teacher to parent is very open. Be it notes or other communication, they are quite willing, within reason, to work with parents on a child's needs. Discipline: The teachers and admin staff can and will be firm when it comes to if discipline is required, using a positive reinforcement method and discussions with the child on appropriate behavioral alternatives. Bullying is not tolerated, is quickly addressed, and I've found that most cases of bullying (which stems naturally from children) does not ever progress to a level where self esteem is being consequently damaged. All parties needs are met, be it the bully or the person being bullied. The school has counselors on staff who work with kids, or provide the resources to get children extra help outside of school if that is required. Special Needs: My child has ADD/ADHD, and the school and staff are wonderful with helping kids with this to learn methods for self control. This is not to mean they are more lenient with expectations, but they do understand what ADHD is and help kids work through it. My Pre-K child is autistic, and again the staff is excellent in working with these kids. The kids themselves: I've seen many kids at this school through the years, older and younger, and the behavior is always consistent. The kids who go here are HAPPY and it shows. I've never seen a teacher or staff member walk through the hallways without many cheerful shouts of "Hello Mr./Ms __) Kids run up and hug them at Parent teacher conference night. All the kids behave respectably, while still being kids. The education received here might be pretty standard, but all in all, the confidence and happiness the kids attain are incredibly useful too. More schools should be like this one.

Gomez Heritage is a great school! I’m looking forward to having my daughter complete the dual language elementary program here!

Cornerstone Christian has become our community, and we feel so fortunate that our whole family, not just our children, have benefitted from being a part of this school. Our son attended for all of middle and high school and is now a freshman in college. Not only was he very well-equipped for college, but he was prepared for life upon leaving CCS. He had teachers who encouraged him both academically and spiritually. His principal and coach has been a huge support in his life and we consider the staff like family. Our daughter is currently a senior and has attended CCS since 4th grade. She also is going on to college after graduation and feels ready for the next chapter. Both of our kids have been challenged by taking AP level and Honors classes, had the opportunity for both domestic and international mission trips, and have competed (and won) at the State level of athletics. It is the daily moments in a “normal” school day, however, that we appreciate the most. Our kids often come home with stories of how God is moving at school and how they see His hand on CCS. They have been able to connect with their peers and teachers about real questions and struggles as they encounter challenges and make their faith their own.

I have 3 children currently enrolled at St. Bernadette. We have a children in grades 3, 2, and PreK. All of my children have learned a great deal and love their school. They enjoy the friends they have made. I love that my children are growing not only academically and socially, but also spiritually. We discussed the possibility of moving from the area, and my third grader became very apprehensive, and would only agree to moving as long as they could still attend St. Bernadette.
