The staff are nice Mrs. Gonzalez was such a great teacher and Mr. Steller along with Mr. Gutierrez. They made my days better and they were the reason I wanted to go to school every single day. The staff were always nice and willing to help. The after school program was extremely fun with activities ready for us to do not only that they were always on top of there game. Thank you Otay Elementary for helping me get to where I am now !

I recently attended my grandson's 8th grade graduation from Calvary Christian Academy.  What a…read moregreat ceremony with less than 40 students graduating, it went by quickly.  We are so used to sitting on some hot bleachers for two hours before they call your kid's name off the list at other schools. This was in a very nice air conditioned, newly remodeled auditorium. He is my second grandchild to graduate from this school, we still have one more to go and a handful of nieces & nephews who also attend. So overall we have been coming here to school performances and Holiday shows since my eldest grandson started here in 2011. He is now in High School at Mater Dei. I was a bit reticent when they started going to this school because I would have preferred them to attend a Catholic private school. Because we are Catholic. But as usual time has proven me wrong. The wonderful academic excellence and innovation, that this school provides has showed me that, the right choice was made. I see how happy and well rounded my grandkids have become. They are into sports, music; one plays the cello incredibly well. It seems that this school places a high priority on individual achievements, probably due to the 13:1 student teacher ratio. All of this with the added benefit of providing a moral education along with the academic one. The school is very well maintained, and the staff is incredible. Grandparents are treated as special guests; we even have a special day when the kids perform just for us. So, in my humble opinion this is one of, if not the finest private pre-school to 8th grade school in Chula Vista. I am a fan and I guess always have been. I highly recommend this illustrious private school!

I cant speak for the upper school, but I can speak for the preschool. It's amazing. Every teacher…read moreis loving and caring for their class and their families and they do the best they do to accommodate. I know this because I was able to see the inside of things. These teachers pray for their students, they take the time to make sure things are prepared for their students. And the director and assistant director or wonderful. This is a wonderful, safe and healthy environment for any preschool family from any form of background. One thing I loved about this school when I first started working there was even if you don't believe or aren't a Christian, this school will still accept you. And that to me, shows their true hearts.

The old one was kind, completely understanding. But the new one, had never cared about students or their mental health, i had a friend, who was problematic because of her mental health, yet they didn't try helping her. And because of her mental health issues and trama, she had done things i wish she hadn't done with me and my friends, so we started getting in trouble, yet the principal DIDNT HELP ANY OF US. So i moved schools for 5th, and it was the best decision i had made :) now i'm in middle school and doing my best!

I am extremely disappointed in the way my son's case was handled by the pre school department/…read morespecial education teacher. I obtained an IEP for my child for speech and decided paradise hills elementary is the best choice for placement. I had finally got through the enrollment process and received a email notifying me of his start date. I arrived to the school on the day he was supposed to start & was sent back home due the incompetence of the special education teacher Ms. Angelina who failed to give me a call to prepare for his first day and confirm weather or not any additional documentation was needed. The following day I received a phone call from her and she stated she was out on his start date due to being sick which is understandable. I asked her why she couldn't give me a call before his start date and her excuse was also that she wasn't feeling well. I asked her to take accountability for the lack of preparation she had for his start date and she refused stating she had other things to do. Without a doubt i was not going to leave my child who is 3 years old to someone who can't do their job correctly and can't even acknowledge her mistakes. I was looking forward in ending the year with some type of schooling for my son as he is so eager to step foot into a school setting unfortunately due to this experience I now have worry's for my child entering school. It's sad and discouraging that schools treat parents and students like this when all we look for is someone who is going to provide our child with a safe and good learning environment for our children but can't do their job correctly. Especially when you hold the title of being a special education teacher. This was my experience and I hope moving forward things change but I will not put my child in the hands of ms Angelina. And I hope this brings awareness to any one seeking to enroll their child to preschool program.
