Cornerstone Christian

Posted: February 10, 2026

This school made me feel suicidal and did absolutely nothing about it. I was constantly discriminated when attending this school considering the students that attend are mostly white and I was assaulted by a boy twice my age.

I pray that no child ever go through what I went through when attending this school. When addressing what had happened to me the school failed to take my side and made me feel like a slut, the principal told me “not with my boys” and proceeded to call me a “hoochie mama”. I was in seventh grade… on top of that, I would I see a lot of favoritism in students and I would constantly get followed into the bathroom, including the stall by the aids. When my brother came to address these matters to the school the turned him away. This school has no respect let alone any dignity. I was not the only one to go through this, two other girls also went through what I went through. This school did nothing for me and girls like me. Since they wouldn’t listen to my side, maybe this review will show others the disgusting and disgraceful treatment upon young girls.

The new Director is taking the school in the wrong direction , multiple teachers and kids and parents say the only cool thing cool about him as he gives high-fives to the kids besides that his values and path is the wrong way

Tammi the PSP program director does not return phone calls or emails. When you finally get ahold of her through the school and church tracking her down, she is extremely unhelpful and evades questions pertaining to the program. Brushes you off to the website that does not answer your questions. Argues with you over the phone when asking questions. Why the program director can not readily explain the program that she runs puzzles me to say the least. You would think she would be excited to explain the program and take pride in what is provided. However, she did not. Which only leads me to believe that the reviews are in fact, true and that this is a horrible school to put your children, time, and money into. Disappointing.

I love this school. It allows not only students, but the families of students to develop a community of learning in a biblical way. I would highly recommend this school to anyone. When my children are old enough, I will be sending them here.

Posted: January 25, 2020

The teachers do a great job at understanding where the students are in learning the information provided and what they need to work on at home.

Posted: January 25, 2020

The teachers personally love and care for the children they are teaching. They are amazing and give their hearts to what they do.

Posted: January 25, 2020

The school teaches a biblical prospective in every aspect.

Posted: January 25, 2020

I graduated from this school and have been very successful in my life. The school went above and beyond on making sure I knew how to lead within in the community. I am now a law enforcement officer and lead the community I love in.

The school is small and because of this, bullying Is seen from a mile away and dealt with very quickly.

Posted: January 24, 2020

I have been impressed by the changes I have seen in the last couple of years. Great students, families, staff, faculty, and athletic programs.

Posted: January 24, 2020

I am glad that teachers understand that the majority of learning takes place in the classroom. Burying students in homework is an outdated approach. Teachers should use class time to teach the knowledge and skills WHILE the students are with them.

Posted: January 24, 2020

The teachers strike me as dedicated, competent, and as caring deeply about the education and welfare of their students.

Posted: January 24, 2020

Mrs. Privett is a wonderful principal; she has earned the respect of staff, students, and families alike. She has been working in Christian education for many decades and has a teacher's heart. The school has experienced a lot of positive changes under her administration, in my opinion.

Posted: January 24, 2020

Small private schools just don't have the resources (massive tax dollar budget) that public schools have. That being said, it seems to me faculty tries to support students with learning differences.

Posted: January 24, 2020

Bullying is not tolerated at CCS, and I know of students being removed quickly for bullying other students.

The teachers are professional and knowledgeable and they are always integrating new ways of learning.

The school is based on Bilbicl prinicples and teach about God which is in line with our family's beliefs.

The bullying is dealt with in an appropriate and timely manner. My daughter was reapeatedly made fun of and meetings were held to stop the bad behavior. The bully has stopped.

Posted: April 7, 2018

I am thankful for the Biblical foundation my kids are recieving. The class sizes are small and there is a close-knit communtiy feel. The teachers are great at assessing what is working and what is not. I am very thankful for this school.

This school has some of the most genuine, and caring students.

Leadership always starts at the top with the principal. Strong leaders lead by example.

Overall the teachers and staff care for the students. The size of school allows for the teachers and staff to know each student by name and creates a family atmosphere.

, if your child struggles academically, has an IEP, or struggles socially, is on the spectrum, or questions their identity, Cornerstone WILL NOT support that child but will instead direct you to services off campus as their staff is ill equipped to differentiate to meet the special needs of some children. In fact, history has shown that at Cornerstone Christian School, kids with special needs are institutionally shamed, ridiculed, and ostracized for their differences.

I have never come across such sheer incompetence, insensitivity, and discrimination in a school as Cornerstone Christian School. The administration at this organization fails to prepare their students with the necessary support and resources in order to be successful in their academic careers. Students who desire to attain higher education must take the initiative in everything if they desire to adequately supplement their resumes and fulfill the necessary requirements that higher education demands (SAT, ACT). It is agreed that a student should have some responsibility in their academic career, but what is not acceptable is the ignorance that the administration of this school has towards aiding their students. Moreover, the administration of this school has failed on numerous occasions to display sensitivity towards their students. They care little to none for the true well-being of their students. Finally, this school still discriminates in an age where bigotry and hate are no longer acceptable. If your child does not fit the prototypical model of being heterosexual, then avoid this school at all costs as your child will be wrongfully discriminated against for the individual that they are. An individual who did not fit their criteria was wrongfully removed from one of their programs and expelled for a period of time. Do not be deceived by the facade this school has put on by claiming that they are Christian. This school should be absolutely disgusted for making a mockery of the Christian religion by their actions.

My kids have excelled academically, socially, and spiritually since their transfer to CCS. The teachers are committed to serving and meeting the academic needs of each child individually, and the office staff is such a delight to see in the morning when we do drop off. They have an international program which I think is an asset to the school as it introduces cultural diversity and helps the students understand that America isn't the only way of life. I will try my best to keep my kids here until they graduate, I couldn't risk putting them in an environment that doesn't hold the standards of Cornerstone. I do wish there were more extracurricular activities and after school programs, but every school always has one area they could work on and this isn't too big of a deal for our family.

CCS has been the greatest blessing in my children's lives. Every morning they wake up eager to go to school and learn with their teachers and classmates. The office staff is always delightful! CCS may be a small school but it has so much to offer all of their students from performing arts, sports, and technology. My kids have attended CCS since Kindergarten. My oldest will be in middle school next year and I rest easy at night knowing those transitional years will be a positive experience. Go Crusaders!!

Seems the school is unable to retain good teachers. Another year of shuffle and change. In addition, the number of International students is on the rise and American students on decline. How anyone teaches students let alone passes them in classes where teachers are not bi-lingual in Korean or Chinese is beyond me. These students cannot read nor write in English, yet are graduating this school. Seems to be a school based on buying a degree; a high school diploma mill. Scary, all in the name of God such dishonesty and lust for money.

Posted: June 11, 2014

All the middle school teachers have been amazing. Thank you for a great year! I hope you all have a wonderful summer. See you next year.

Disappointed in lack of honesty and integrity. Community Care Licensing wrote us this school for operating without a license. Jr Kindergareten was shut down! Children were brought in with the false pretense that they were operating above board and with a license. It is a CHRISTIAN school afterall. This is all verifiable/public record. Mrs. Privett stated she thought she was exempt, due to integrated Kindergarten. Yet, that did not go into effect until this year. What about the past five years, Mrs Privett? 3 year old children mingled into the mix, the dollar is mightier then God at this school. Just count the imigrant visa's located here! Yikes! Not safe, not honest, not ethical, if this is what leadership exhibits, that explains teachers moral conduct reports. Parents had to find new school. Seems that the same old regime is running things" below the line", and behind locked doors. Do you not wonder why only office staff is kept safe and locked up and anyone could gain access to the children? Strange place and moving on out.. Public Record on all stated above,contact CCS ( Community Care Licensing) to verify, located in Riverside Ca.Substatiated closures for lack of license.

Posted: June 27, 2013

We have been at CCS for 8 years, and we just have to go on the record in saying that there have been so many positive improvements made to this school since the current principal has joined the staff. Many programs have been added that support student learning, like AR Reading, more Advanced Placement classes, the AWESOME performing arts program, technology classes, computer lab, new library, the AMAZING Washington/New York trip, and many more. When we started at the school we got a good school.....now we think we are at a GREAT school, and the principal and teachers have made it that way.

Posted: June 26, 2013

My daughter's first year at Cornerstone Christian School was such a success I'm sending her there all summer long! They have a great summer daycare program that continues their education and includes fun activities! My daughter loves the staff and all the new friends she has made. She is having so much fun she doesn't realize that she is learning. The school is under construction to enhance security features for the upcoming year....this is exciting news for anyone with children in school. If you have CONSTRUCTIVE comments or concerns you should join the parent, teacher, fellowship group they have each year! It's a great way to be heard and make positive changes for our kids. -one happy parent!

Posted: June 7, 2013

Seems like we have an angry parent who will continue with her harassment. Don't let her angry mislead you! Come and see the school and what it has to offer for yourself! My kid's will continue here for as long as I can afford private education. You cannot find a nicer staff and the small class sizes are worth the financial price of private education. Speak to your child's teacher and make your own decision. I also love the fact that the school has no tolerance for bullying. Maybe this unhappy parent should stop bullying the school.

Posted: June 7, 2013

Parents do your homework before enrolling children in any school. Check teachers out on the California state website to see if they are a good fit teacher. Be alarmed if there are poor reviews and then positive reviews right after.

Posted: June 5, 2013

I found this school when I needed it the most. Public schools were not working for my daughter. I did a visit to Cornerstone and fell in love with the staff. They are all so friendly and attentive to what I have to say. The teachers have a smile on their face when you greet them and the class ratio is perfect for what I needed. My daughter needed more attention from the teacher in a smaller classroom. I also love that the kids move together to each grade so they stay with their friends and grow up together. I have built friendships with the teachers, staff and some parents. It was just what we needed. I also love chapel every Thursday and my daughter comes home singing worship songs. Love it!!

Cornerstone is a school with great potential BUT it must first weed out the teachers that tarnish the school reputation. Before you commit to a contract, research the classroom teacher and do not be afraid to complain if something is wrong! There are some fantastic teachers at Cornerstone that work hard to make a difference in the students lives and they make tuition worth it! However, there are other teachers that should not be allowed in the classroom--some even deemed unfit by the California State Board of Education. Also, when complaints are brought to the attention of pastoral staff or administration, results are never produced and parent feedback is greeted with arrogance and tactics that serve to bully parents into silence.

Posted: April 14, 2013

My son has been at Cornerstone for 8 years and he LOVES it! I LOVE it! Small class sizes and I feel comfortable with him at the school since everyone knows him. There are a lot of activities offered but if your in to sports not so much. It is a private school so yes you are going to pay more but its average for the private schools in the area. My son wants to stay here for the remainder of his school years with the friends he has made. They do testing every year so you know where your child is at compared to other schools. The principle has done a good job of advancing the school during her time here. I love the middle school teachers this year!!

Posted: April 7, 2013

A Huge Disappointment. A lack of leadership is evident. Pastoral leadership is non-existent. Parents are disregarded when concerns about bullying and student safety is brought to the table. Tuition is high, yet little of that money appears to be recycled back through the program. The classrooms are dirty and dated. Technology is outdated. Teachers are in need of supervision and some need to find their way back to church. The good people are leaving and neither the Head of School/Principal nor Pastoral Staff seem to care. The school is being filled with International Students who bring large sums of money to the program and the school has become a revolving door. There is a lack of community but more importantly a lack of faith.

Posted: March 7, 2013

There is obviously a lack of leadership by evidence of the inconsistent way the school is governed. From the sports car driving Pastor who is at best an absentee land lord to the principal who sacrifices the integrity of the schools pledges and her moral responsibility to ensure all students receive a good Christian based education in trade for student enrollment and tuition. In the end the leadership of this school can hide from its own accountability but will have to answer to the higher power that gave them the privilege to be in such a position to influence and shape the lives of so many of God's children.

Posted: March 5, 2013

Most of the teachers are amazing, but they need a new principal not to mention office staff is pretty difficult to deal with:-( When brought to the Pastor's attention how the principal is running the school ,he just arrogantly made excuses and told us to take our issues up with her:-(

Posted: March 25, 2012

Wonderful school. We have been at Cornerstone for over six years. We are blessed to be a part of such a loving and academically challenging atmosphere. Our children have flourished due in part to the wonderful staff. We don't have perfect kids, but their teachers and their principal have modeled Christ-like character when dealing with them. Our kids love CCS, and so do we.

Posted: March 25, 2012

Love, love, LOVE this school! My son has been here for 5 years and doesn't like to miss school........ever. The teachers are amazing! They are patient, loving and a blessing to us. When the principal walks by all the kids scream her name and run up and hug her. When I was a kid we only talked to the prinipal if we had to. My son is learning so much and has had mostly A's. He wants to learn and always tries his best for his teacher. Everyone is very nice and the office staff is absolutely amazing! I highly recommend Cornerstone Christian School!

Posted: March 25, 2012

Great school, nice staff, beautiful campus. They balance academics with character. Go see for yourself!

Posted: June 24, 2011

Both of my kids have attended this school since 1st grade and have done great there. My daughter graduated and was accepted to a high quality university with an academic scholarship!

Posted: June 23, 2011

This is a christian school, but I think this is not a christian school at all and am regretting my son with 9th grade enrolled in this school. They do not care a harassment between students and not fair in dealing with a problem between them. I plan to transfer my son to other school. If you want your child admitted to any 4 year college, you seriously need to think about transfer. They treat a student as a cash cow. so they accept a below standard student even with a bully. It is obvious that the quality of education is below standard not enought to to be entered to a college level.
