Castaneda Elementary School

Great staff to work with and students appear eager to learn from teachers.

Garza provides a safe learning environment for all students. We have a very caring and dedicated staff. We strive for success and growth for each and everyone of our students, as well as our staff.

The staff goes above and beyond to make this a safe and fun learning environment for all of the students at McAuliffe Elementary. The administrators are understanding, fair, and passionate about making sure that the students are learning.

There is no instruction provided to students. Teachers appear in class to assign tests from some flips-flimsy notes, and those tests are never graded nor students ever informed about their grades. Kids must self-educate themselves. It is a waste of time to bring a child to this school.

Academically very deficient. School extremely disorganized. We are bombarded with emails from the school and hard to discern important or vital info from nonessential info. Staff tend to rude . Overall, wouldn’t recommend

As a parent, choosing where to entrust your child’s education is one of the most significant decisions you will ever make. After years of being part of the Covenant Christian Academy (CCA) family, I can say with absolute certainty that it is not merely a school—it is a sanctuary for intellectual growth, character development, and spiritual formation. CCA stands apart as the premier choice for families seeking an education that nourishes both the mind and the soul.The most immediate differentiator at CCA is its commitment to academic excellence through a classical lens. In a world that often prioritizes standardized testing over deep understanding, CCA teaches students how to think, not just what to think. From the early years of the Grammar stage to the sophisticated debates of the Rhetoric stage, the curriculum is rigorous and intentional. Seeing my child transition from memorizing facts to articulating complex arguments with grace and logic has been nothing short of transformative.However, academics are only half of the story. What truly makes Covenant the "best" is its unwavering Christ-centered environment. Faith isn’t just a subject taught in a Bible class; it is the atmosphere of the entire campus. The teachers at CCA do not just instruct; they mentor. They see each child as an individual made in the image of God, and they invest deeply in their moral and spiritual well-being. Knowing that my child is surrounded by educators who model integrity, kindness, and a biblical worldview provides a level of peace that is truly priceless.Furthermore, the sense of community at CCA is unparalleled. As a guardian, I have never felt like a bystander. The school fosters a genuine partnership between the home and the classroom. Whether through school-wide events, parent fellowships, or the simple, daily interactions at drop-off, there is a tangible feeling that we are all working together toward the same goal: raising the next generation of virtuous leaders.In conclusion, Covenant Christian Academy provides more than just a diploma; it provides a foundation. It balances high academic standards with a nurturing heart, ensuring that students graduate not only prepared for the world’s best universities but also equipped with the character to navigate life’s challenges. For any parent seeking an education that values truth, goodness, and beauty, there is no better place than CCA.

Great Christian and family environment! Safety is really one of their top priorities!
